Early test could pick out kids at risk of autism

摘要

An Early test to identify children at risk of developing autism may soon be on the cards, following the discovery that those with the condition have a characteristic chemical signature in their urine. The finding also adds weight to the hypothesis that substances released by gut bacteria may contribute to the onset of autism.rnAutism has previously been linked to metabolic abnormalities and gastrointestinal problems such as gut pain and diarrhoea.
