3、asks. Ashdod was lucky: when she was 10 months old, her parents became alarmed that she had little interest in looking them in the eyes, eating and moving from her back, and took her to the Mifne Center in Rosh Pinna, Israel, a clinic that focuses on children 5 months and older who show early warnin

4、g signs of autism.

5、doctors still frequently ignore warning signs in very young children. These can be difficult to detect: a child never points at things, shows more interest in objects than people, has delayed speech and develops a fascination with toys turning around. Many experts regard these symptoms as harmless h

6、abits that kids will outgrow. New research and experience in some autism clinics, however, suggests that starting treatment by age 2 is critical to mitigating and in some cases entirely avoiding the disorder.Thats because unlike the brain of an adult or even an older child, a 12-or 18-month-olds bra

7、in is, in a sense, highly reprogrammable-that is, it responds well to treatments designed to permanently change basic patterns of thought and behavior. “All the evidence we have suggests that outcomes for these children will be better with an earlier diagnosis(诊断),before they reach 18 months, if pos

8、sible,“ says Christopher Gillberg, a professor at Gothenburg University in Sweden.Although there are currently no effective treatments for autism symptoms in older children or adults, the prospects are turning out to be entirely different for very young children who get prompt treatment. Psychologis

Some 200 children have been through the program; about three quarters have remained free of any signs of autism or any other significant developmental disorder, according to Mifne founder and director Hanna Alonim. “If we can get th

11、em here as babies, close to 100 percent wont develop autism.“ she says. “If we dont see them until theyre 2. its a different story.“ To support Mifnes findings with more-formal research, doctors at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center have begun screening and videotaping infants thought to be at ris

In the United States, Where health insurance rarely covers such treatments, the chances of having the government pay for therapy varies wildly from state

17、to state. Children dont necessarily fare much better under national health care. The United Kingdom pays for treatment-but often only after the parents hire a lawyer and win their case at a regional “tribunal“. where more often than not communities will fight to force the parents to settle for the f

20、s insist that governments are being penny-wise and pound-foolish in refusing to pony (付清) up for intensive therapy to infants and toddlers who show early signs of a developmental disorder.
