Scientists in New Jersey are claiming that children with autism are [a href="http://www.nj.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news-11/117177694297300.xml&coll=1"]unable to metabolize key fatty acids[/a] that fight brain-damaging inflammations. They have already developed urine/blood tests to identify at-risk children. A preventive cure to autism may be as simple as a 'therapeutic cocktail' of fatty acids. Human trials could start later this year.

Let's hope this is as effective as it promises to be and that it's curative powers will spill over to include other similar afflictions such as Asperger's Syndrome.
