Mother believes epidural may have played role in disorder By Gina KinslowGlasgow Daily Times “So, children don’t interact well,” she said. “They don’t communicate just for social reasons. They communicate when they want things and when they want you to do things for them, but not to share events or interests with them. So, bringing a scribble they’ve done to a parent is not something an autistic child would do.” An autistic child also tends not to make eye contact as often or at the same times as a non-autistic child.
“They may hand you a jar of bubbles, but they may not look at you while they do it,” Stone said. There are different degrees of autism. Some children are more severely autistic than others. “It’s like hair color,” she said. “You can have light brown hair and dark brown hair.” If parents suspect their children are autistic, Stone said, it is important to get it identified early on and begin intervention as soon as possible. “There is evidence of children who receive specialized intervention at an early age making very nice gains,” she said, adding they are able to improve their cognitive and social skills. Several research projects are being conducted at TRIAD in regards to autism. Those projects involve sleep patterns, daytime behaviors, joint attention skills, genetics, parental well-being, as well as a few involving siblings of autistic children. More information about autism and the research at TRIAD can be found by visiting www.triadatvanderbilt.com or the CDC by visiting www.cdc.gov, or by e-mailing TRIAD at triad@vanderbilt.edu.
