New Research on Autism Raises More Questions 		   
Summary Statement:

In a flood of new studies closely looking at autism, the latest has confirmed what many parents have told Doctor Ken Norwood for years, that a fever can temporarily unlock autism's grip on a child.

“It suggests that there may be something about what is going on in fever that could be affecting how the brain is working,” said Dr. Norwood, an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Developmental Pediatrics at UVa’s Kluge Children’s Rehabilitation Center.

The study examined 30 children between the ages of 2 and 18. Researchers found a temperature of 100 caused the most predominant symptoms of autism to weaken, briefly freeing children from their developmental disorders.
