Mother and Infant Bonding

I really should type more, but in my free time (such as that is!) I am consumed by research. It's my own fault for being way too curious!

I have been following my latest rabbit trail, trying to find the early origins and therapies for autism. I actually found a very fascinating article that has a great clue-- they theorize that interruption in the infant-mother bonding can be an early cause of autism.

This isn't a tree that has been barked up very much, but I know I am going to try to make sure I pay good attention to my infant and our interaction.
