Early development in autism: Insights from prospective studies of high-risk infants

Abstract: 

 

Prospective studies of high-risk infants have provided a new window into early development in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), yielding new insights into early behavioural markers, developmental trajectories (including regression), and the interface between ASD and the broader autism phenotype. This presentation will review the latest findings from 'baby sibs' research in ASD, with special reference to the Canadian Infant Sibling Study, which currently includes over 400 participants.

 

Implications for neurobiological research in autism will be discussed.
