TOP INSIGHT
Infants with early signs of autism may have better management of ASD symptoms by preemptive therapy.
All these infants had received either a preemptive intervention plus usual care or usual care only over 5 months to check the significance of the therapy in reducing the ASD severity across early childhood.
Effect of preemptive intervention
The preemptive intervention comprised of 10-session of social communication intervention, and iBASIS¡VVideo Interaction to Promote Positive Parenting (iBASIS-VIPP).
It was found that infants who received a preemptive intervention for autism spectrum disorder had lower odds of meeting diagnostic criteria for ASD (7%) than those who received usual care (21%) at age 3 years. Furthermore, there were also the reduced odds of an ASD diagnosis at 3-years-old.
