SAN DIEGO, April 29 (UPI) -- Testing a baby's eye gaze, sounds,
words, gestures, objects and other forms of age-appropriate
communication may help screen for autism, U.S. researchers say.


Karen Pierce of the University of California, San Diego, and
colleagues worked with 137 pediatricians in San Diego County to have the
pediatricians screen all infants at their 1-year, well-baby check-up,
using the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental
Profile Infant-Toddler Checklist.
