Title
Searching for early signs of autism spectrum disorders.
Abstract
The article explores different biomarkers and behaviors that indicate early signs of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). ASD involves five pervasive developmental disorders such as autistic disorder and childhood disintegrative disorder. A review published in a 2007 issue of the "Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine" found that prolonged or acute oxygen deprivation during fetal development or delivery plays a role in promoting ASD.
