The information could lead to more prepared parents. Parents often get blindsided that their child has autism. A lot of parents have to wait until their child is over the age of two to find out their child has autism. This can be a devastation to a lot of parents. This would also catch a lot of parents off guard. Parents do not always know the signs and symptoms of early stage autism. This discovery could lead to parents being prepared for it. They could have the house ready, the doctors they need ready, and get their child the right help they need to be the best functioning they can be.
Another more sad view is it might lead to more abortions. People right away get scared that they have a child with autism. If they found out their child has it and it is in the womb they can get an abortion. This might lead to an increase in this because there will probably be a test available to see if the child has autism. Some parents might get scared and not want the child with autism because they do not have that emotional attachment. At least when parents find out later in life their child has autism they cannot just stop loving them and get rid of them. This time they could and it could be a very bad thing, unless it leads to the discovery of how it is formed.
It could lead to the discovery of how and why children get autism. If in fact it happens at some time during the pregnancy, the child might have a chance of not getting it. There could be more research done to create some preventions. They could find the cause of this. If this can be done they can possibly prevent autism from happening. This could be a great thing for all people with autism and could lead to much better treatments and preventions.
This question being answered can also help children with autism get diagnosed faster. If they found out what was actually going on in people with autism, then they can get diagnosed a lot earlier. Getting diagnosed earlier then leads to more help and better treatment, and ultimately better lives for the child. The timing of the diagnosis is key in a lot of situations. If it is diagnosed correctly and in a timely fashion the child can get the help they need to function to the best of their ability.
