Swelling

<a title="Brain inflammation link to autism" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4004075.stm" target="_blank">Brain inflammation link to autism</a><br />n<br />nI found this over at <a title="Wizbang!" href="http://wizbangblog.com/archives/004299.php" target="_blank">Wizbang</a> and as you would expect it piqued my attention. I have read that there was a theory that brain swelling might cause autism and this seem to prove it.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>The researchers say it might eventually be possible to develop a diagnostic test for autism based on looking for signs of inflammation – and that treating this inflammation might reduce the symptoms of autism. </blockquote><br />n<br />nWhere this will lead I don't know but any progress forward on this problem makes my heart feel good.<br />n<br />n<b>Research is formalized curiosity.
