Two recent studies regarding autism have resulted in revealing new information about the disorder. Very premature babies with a very low birth weight around 3.3 pounds or less may be at risk of developing autism. Researchers did a MRI on 91 babies at birth and then did an autism screening test on them after 22 months. 25 percent of those toddlers tested positive showing a risk that they may develop autism.
The other study was about the financial impact on a family that has a child with autism. Annual earnings decease by one parent staying home, turning a promotion or a job that requires much traveling from home. There's also health expenses that are not covered by health insurance that shrinks a family's income.
