Premature babies are vulnerable to health problems than babies who just months. Research shows that premature babies have a greater risk of suffering from autism when he grew up. Because the progress of medical science, life expectancy premature babies is higher. However, children born less month is often experience delayed growth and development. The smaller the smaller the gestational age and birth weight, the higher the risk of growth disturbance.
In a study of 219 children born before 26 weeks gestation, about 8 percent of children meet the criteria for autism spectrum disorder at age 11. Compare to 153 children who were born just months that everything was normal.
The experts said the number of autism in these studies included high compared to the whole population where experts estimate there are 1 case in 1,000 children with autism.

The condition of growth retardation are highly variable, from severe to mild (Asperger syndrome) in which the child has normal intelligence and good communication skills, but difficulty in socializing and not understand the forms of communication, such as body language or tone of voice.
The experts predict, yet mature central nervous system in premature infants contribute to the high risk of autism. Therefore, parents of premature babies are advised to be more truly monitor their children's growth.
