Nesrhtens…..

British researchers has discovered that finger lengths may yield if a person has autism or not. I´m amazed to read what autism research spends time on, and at first sight this seems meaningless! But as the researchers stat this research is linked to other genetic research, and by linking this to high testosterone and genetics contribute to the important research on causes of autism.

Most interesting about this possible sign or pointer is that the “relative finger length is determined in utero by about 14 weeks´gestation an does not change as we age.” This opens great possibilities in preventing autism and early intervention! Maybe one can identify children with high risk of autism before birth and implement effective interventions from birth……..
