The ABO test shows that people have one of four blood types: A, B, AB, or O. If your red blood cells have: 1  The A antigen, you have type A blood. 2  The liquid portion of your blood (plasma) has antibodies that attack type B blood.
Autism can be detected at age 1 year in some (but not all) toddlers Results of the Pierce study (2011) indicated that it is possible to detect some toddlers showing early signs autism and other delays at 12 months using a simple, broad band screening tool (i.e., the CSBS DP IT Checklist) that takes only 5 minutes for a caregiver to complete.
Kohane says the blood test could identify those at risk of autism well before symptoms appear around age 2, and help these children access potentially beneficial therapies. The test, however, is still in early stages of development.
