AUTISM Till now, we thought baby talk was just ata-pu, gadda-badu. A new study has shown that babble can actually predict if a toddler is on the autistic spectrum. Scientists at the University of Memphis have used a computer programme to study baby talk and all the codes that lie within it. This audio analysis has already identified more than 85 per cent of autistic and non-autistic kids. Toddlers with autism tend to mangle syllables more. This programme could be used to screen children; early diagnosis means early intervention. In America, one out of 110 kids are on the autistic spectrum. Incidence is also on the rise in India.Sunday, April 24, 2011
