Catching early signs of autism in infants

The video discusses autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, typically occurring after age three, and explores early detection possibilities. A University of Miami study, funded by the National Science Foundation, examined infants with social difficulties and older siblings with ASD. The study found that high-risk infants with insecure attachments were more likely to be diagnosed with ASD. The research suggests that early behavioral markers could lead to interventions for more secure social relationships in infants at risk of developing ASD.
