Autistic children have abnormalities in their immune systems and unusual constellations of proteins in their blood that may be an indicator of the disorder, University of California-Davis researchers said Thursday.
The findings "suggest the possibility for future diagnostic tests for autism at birth" and may mean that "we can get children into effective treatment much earlier than is now possible," said Dr. Helen Tager-Flusberg of the Boston University School of Medicine, who chaired the fourth International Meeting for Autism Research in Boston, where the results were presented.
