Very young children who have common ear and upper respiratory problems appear to have an increased risk of being diagnosis of autism or showed high levels of autism traits, according to a new study.
The study’s data comes from the United Kingdom’s Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children , also known as the “Children of the 90s” study.
But other researchers urged caution. Asked to comment, Tim Nicholls, head of influencing and research at the National Autistic Society, said:"These results should be treated with caution. They only indicate a possible association – and we know that correlation is not the same as causation. Therefore, we suggest that firm conclusions should not be drawn from it.
There was also evidence of connections between pus or sticky mucus discharge from the ears, especially with diagnosed autism and with poor speech.
