Scientists have developed a blood and urine test that can detect autism in children.

Researchers at the University of Warwick say the test, believed to be the first of its kind, could lead to earlier diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in children who could then be given appropriate treatment much earlier in their lives.

ASDs mainly affect a person's social interaction and communication, with symptoms that can include speech disturbances, repetitive and/or compulsive behaviour, hyperactivity, anxiety, and difficulty adapting to new environments.

As there is a wide range of ASD symptoms, diagnosis can be difficult and uncertain, particularly at the early stages of development.

Scientists said their research found a link between ASD and damage to proteins in blood plasma.

The researchers recruited 38 children who were diagnosed with ASD along with a control group of 31 other children between the ages of five and 12.

Blood and urine samples were taken from the children for analysis, with chemical differences observed between the two groups.
