Interesting article. My nephew has Asperger's autism. My brother and his wife were told that many people exhibit mild symptoms without ever being clinically diagnosed, and chances are there is a recessive tendency towards autism in both families (I have a cousin who is in her 50's who, had she been child today would probably have this diagnosis).

I also see some of my nephew's traits in one of my twins, albeit slight. I know when and if she ever has children this will be on my mind.

Have any of you all tried the Epson Salts baths? For the physical overactivity and agitation,,just wondering. I think this is so much more common, the spectrum disorders that is, than we know. It seems I keep hearing of someone who has a child or relative with this.
