Head Circumference and Autism: New Insights and Possible Interventions

Dr. Eric Corchesney and his team at the Centre for Autism Research studied 48 autistic children over a decade, focusing on head circumference measurements. They discovered that rapid head growth correlates with autism severity. Autism affects communication and relationships, and these findings challenge the idea that environmental factors cause autism. The research suggests the possibility of developing biological interventions to prevent abnormal brain growth.
