Study: Children with Autism Have Distinctly Different Immune System Reactions Compared

Immunologists from UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute find clear biological component to perplexing childhood neurological disorder

A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, M.I.N.D. Institute and the NIEHS Center for Children's Environmental Health demonstrate that children with autism have different immune system responses than children who do not have the disorder. This is important evidence that autism, currently defined primarily by distinct behaviors, may potentially be defined by distinct biologic changes as well.
