celticdragonflyMy mother saw this on a Good Morning America show, and after some searching, finally found a breaking news article on this on the BBC.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3929045.stm new early test for Asperger's
Apparently they've found a new form of early screening that has to do with abnormalities of body movement. The article and the clip on TV said to hold the child around the waist, held out away from you facing outwards, and tilt the child to the side. The head should follow the body in the tilt. If the head stays in line with where the body was, that's a possible sign of trouble.
I'm pleased to say Jamie passed it. (Difficult to hold big heavy Tank Baby that way!)
Admittedly Brendan's autistic, not Aspergers, but they're part of the same spectrum.
