| Perth researchers want to test a groundbreaking autism therapy that could prevent some children from developing the condition.
The Telethon Kids Institute wants to carry out large-scale research on hundreds of infants, after a small British study found that targeting early signs of autism in the first 12 months of life could reduce the chances of children having the condition later.
The technique involves videotaping parents with their children and then showing them how to keep their baby's attention and eye contact.
It is one of the first therapies to show promise in preventing rather than treating the learning and behavioural disorder that affects one in 100 people.
