The eight common childhood ailments linked to ‘increased risk of autism’ revealed
Experts could not be sure whether the link was being caused by a higher diagnosis rate, given autistic children are more likely to see their doctor more frequently anyway.It studied more than 10,000 young children born inAutistic children were 3.3 times more likely to have “glue ear” symptoms or an ear infection and 2.2 times more likely to have hearing loss during a cold at 30 months.
Pulling or poking at ears was 3.8 times more likely at 40 months, while the chances of snoring were 1.9 times as likely by the same age. Dr Amanda Roestorf, of Autistica, said: “The study provides interesting insights into the potential association between ENT symptoms and autism. “Autistic children are more likely to experience problems and physical health conditions related to ear infections, auditory sensitivities and hearing problems.
“The study findings provide a basis for considering treatment pathways for ENT problems in autistic children in general practice and secondary care.”
