Autism is a complex neurological disorder that is often not diagnosed until 2-3 years of age. However, early detection is critical because early interventions can alleviate symptoms and improve long-term outcomes. A new study has shown that a child's response to "motherese," also known as baby talk, could be an important indicator of autism.
Because early diagnosis of autism is important to allow effective treatment, screening tests for Motherese speech could be a useful method for early detection in the future. However, this method could not be used alone because autism is caused by a variety of factors.
It is important to emphasize that there are many other symptoms that can indicate autism. It is also important to point out that autism encompasses a wide range of severity and not every case is the same. Therefore, a lack of interest in Motherese language is not a definitive sign of autism.
Overall, the findings regarding the use of Motherese language as a diagnostic tool for autism are promising. However, it is important that further research be conducted to validate this method and clarify how it can best be integrated into the early detection and treatment of autism.
In summary, Motherese language may be an important factor in the early detection and treatment of autism. However, it is important that further research be conducted to determine its effectiveness and use.

What is motherese?
Motherese refers to the way adults talk to babies and toddlers. It's a slower, higher-pitched, sing-song tone of voice that is typically used by parents and caregivers to get a child's attention and calm them down. The study found that children with autism fixated significantly less on Motherese than children without autism. If a child fixates on Motherese at 30% or less, this could be an important indicator of autism.Because early diagnosis of autism is important to allow effective treatment, screening tests for Motherese speech could be a useful method for early detection in the future. However, this method could not be used alone because autism is caused by a variety of factors.
This method alone is not reliable for detection
It is important to emphasize that there are many other symptoms that can indicate autism. It is also important to point out that autism encompasses a wide range of severity and not every case is the same. Therefore, a lack of interest in Motherese language is not a definitive sign of autism.
