Autism spectrum disorders: A relational causeMaxson JMcDowellauthorJones and Klin (1) showed that newborns who will later develop autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) pay normal attention to eyes, but that attention declines from 2-6 months. This shows, they say, how 'initial genotypic vulnerabilities' cause ASDs. Their results suggest, however, that ASDs are caused by insufficient practice of early eye-contact.Behavioral NeuroscienceTheoretical BiologyDevelopmental Psychology2013-10MacmillanOther
