Mother's Eyes Stare Reduce Risk Infants Suffer Autism

Eye contact as possible with high-risk infants with autism bears, very highly recommended to parents, especially if it has to have autistic children.

For researchers from the University of Washington, it's not just a suggestion, but with the support of research on 200 infants who had siblings with autism.

In the United States, every one of the 150 babies born with autism bear. A higher percentage of one of 20 new-born baby, if one brother has autism.

All infants were monitored by experts, are divided into age groups 6, 12, and 24 months. Half of the mothers trained in specific techniques to 'catch' communication submitted by the baby.

The mothers were also trained in infant's attention, when their own fun. With a soft rhythmic sound and eye contact. This is believed to facilitate the baby learn about language.

"We want the oarangtua there when the baby grabbed the toy and look for the presence of her parents through the eyes," said Prof Annette Estes from Autism Center University of Washington.

Further, he says, parents must be really present when a baby enters the world and find out what to do next.

Happenings humming, playing the tone of voice, eye contact and other interaction models between the parents, especially mothers and the babies, believed to suppress the degree of development of autism. Behavior and talk therapy can also detect the early stages of autism symptoms.

According to Prof. Estes, autistic disorders arise due to the communication system. If recognized early, it can be applied to patterns of social communication, so appropriate and the development of autistic symptoms can be reduced as little as possible. This is related to the development of social communication in the brain.

Prof. Estes says, observing the development of the brain performed on all infants who became the subject of research. But in babies born of parents who previously had borne a child with autism, parents have no choice but to wait with anticipation over the fate of your baby.

Unfortunately, so far as Prof. Estes acknowledged, there is no appropriate method to help parents of children with autism through the tough times.
