ASD may soon be diagnosed as Autism Type A, Type B or Type C

A group of US researchers from the University of California are making an announcement today about the results of their findings on autism. The results, they say, would for the first time mark a closer milestone towards finding the cause of autism and towards more accurate treatment of the individuals with the disability.
The group led by Dr. David Amarral has been working on a study that led to believe that autism spectrum disorder has variant strains comparable to the various types of cancer in an individual.Here, read the whole article published by the media: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/09/08/us-researchers-identify-two-autism-strains-in-major-breakthrough/
With so much talk about the various treatments available out there for despairing families, this will be a big step in knowing whether your child has Type A Autism or Type B or C and go after the treatment tailored to address the difficulties and challenges facing each individual on the spectrum. This research finding is also likely to lead to earlier diagnosis and therefore, earlier treatment for the individual, which in itself is a huge deal. The earlier any action is taken, the better will be the prospect of that individual's future. That's a given for many parents of children with this disability but there are some who prefer to have a wait and see attitude. The latter would surely be persuaded to act faster when there's research findings such as this one who would convince them to seek early diagnosis and treatment.
The group is expected to be be making its announcement of specifics of the study findings at a conference in Perth, Australia, today and I am looking forward to hearing the details.
