Detection of Children with Autism Self-Test Urine

Detection of Children with Autism Self-Test Urine
Detecting children with autism is not easy. The child must pass a psychological test lengths ranging from social interaction, communication, test the physical skills to the test.

But soon, the detection of children with autism can be done in a simple manner with only a few drops of urine test like a pregnancy test.

Scientists today are perfecting the use of urine tests for detection of children with autism are expected to be applied to broaden in 2015. Of this test can be known 'yes' or 'no' children affected by autism.

Research conducted by scientists from Imperial College London and University of South Australia, is a new breakthrough that helps the diagnosis of autism in an easy way.

Moreover, the symptoms of autism has emerged since the child was born. By the early diagnosis, treatment of children with autism can be done early so that parents can be more responsive to treat his son.

Professor Jeremy Nicholson of Imperial College London said the urine of autistic children contain different chemicals. The findings of the so-called 'urinary metabolic fingerprint' that have been reported in the Journal of Proteome Research.

Researchers found there were three groups of different chemical fingerprints. The group is children are not autistic but have a sibling with autism, children with no siblings with autism and autistic children.

The results showed that people with autism have different bacteria in the gut than others.

People with autism often experience digestive problems from different bacteria in the gut. Scientists say an understanding of these bacteria may help treatment for digestive problems autistic children.

Scientists suggest the need for a new understanding of bacteria because it could help develop treatments for digestive problems autistic children.

"We hope these findings will be a way to create a simple urine test to diagnose autism at an early age," said Professor Jeremy Nicholson, head of the Department of Surgery and Cancer at Imperial College London as reported by FoxNews on Sunday (06/06/2010).

Approximately 88 percent of children with autism have a damaged intestinal condition known as autistic or colistic. This shows that the problems of children with autism not only the head but also disturbances in the digestive tract.

The main problem of autism, there are three, the brain, toxins and digestive functions. Therefore there is no instant treatment for children with autism, and it takes patience and a long time for treatment.
