Premature babies are five times more often suffer from autism researchers found both from the School of Midwifery at the University of Pennsylvania. For the first time science has established a clear link between underweight newborn and ASD . This explains such a huge surge in autism in children, observed in recent decades - medicine is now much better nursed preterm infants.
These studies are published in the journal Pediatrics. Scientists have for 21 years been seen 862 children. Even before science could find a link between underweight newborns and cognitive disorders. But now scientists have shown that premature babies (and some of the weight at birth was only 500 grams) up to five times more often suffer from autism spectrum disorders .
What makes this discovery from a practical point of view. Very often autism spectrum disorders doctors take just for cognitive impairment. Underweight premature should be considered as a direct risk factor. And these children should first be checked for autism. The earlier the experts will begin the appropriate therapy, the better will be the results. This will help children feel more comfortable at school and at home.
In the future, scientists are going to trace a connection between brain hemorrhage which is a common complication of preterm birth and autism. You will need to study the brain scans taken from just children born. In addition, the researchers now want to find out why when underweight newborns the risk of autism spectrum disorders so much increased.
