Library Item Name:

One in four premature babies 'faces the risk of autism' 		   
Summary Statement:

Premature babies could have as much as a one in four risk of developing autism.

The much higher rate offers one explanation for the increase in children diagnosed with autism in recent years, as early births have become more common.

One in 100 Britons - around half a million - are estimated to be autistic.

Just 20 years ago, scientists estimated that fewer than one in 1,000 people had the condition.
