Ukubhema kanye ne-Autism: Isixhumanisi sokukhulelwa

Ukubhema ngaphambi noma ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kungase kuhlotshaniswe nezici ze-autism spectrum disorder (ASD), njengezimpawu zokukhubazeka komphakathi, ngokocwaningo olusha lwezingane ezingaba ngu-11,000 ezixhaswe yiNational Institutes of Health (NIH). Ucwaningo luphinde lwaphawula ukuthi izingane zesikhathi esigcwele omama bazo ababebhema ngaphambi nangesikhathi sokukhulelwa babenengozi engamaphesenti angu-44 eyengeziwe yokuthola ukuxilongwa kwe-ASD kamuva ebuntwaneni. Ucwaningo, olunesihloko esithi "Ukubhema Ugwayi Lomama kanye ne-Offspring Autism Spectrum Disorder noma Izimpawu ku-ECHO Cohorts," kushicilelwe ku-Autism Research.

Rashelle J. Musci, Ph.D. wase-Johns Hopkins University kanye no-Irva Hertz-Picciotto, Ph.D. waseNyuvesi yaseCalifornia, uDavis, uhole lo mzamo wokusebenzisana njengabaphenyi ohlelweni lwe-NIH oluxhaswe yi-Environmental Outcomes on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Programme.

Ithimba labacwaningi liqoqe ulwazi ezinganeni ezisemaqenjini angu-13 e-ECHO kulo lonke elase-US Iqoqo ngalinye liqoqe izifo ze-ASD, laphatha I-Social Responsiveness Scale ukuze linqume ukukhubazeka komphakathi ezinganeni, noma kokubili. Wonke amaqoqo aphinde aqoqa idatha mayelana nemikhuba yokubhema ngaphambi kokubeletha komama nokuhlukahluka okungaba kudidayo.

"Ucwaningo lwesikhathi esizayo lungasiza ekunqumeni isikhathi esiqondile sokubeletha lapho izinsana zisengozini enkulu yokubhema ugwayi nezinye izici, njengemikhuba yokuphila noma ukubhema kobaba, okungase kube nomthelela ekukhuleni kwengane," kusho u-Hertz-Picciotto.
