Craft says that she and her husband got a brief glimpse of a son who had been locked in his own world of autism. Then the fever went away, and so did Jackson's improvement.
Craft isn't the first parent to notice the so-called "fever effect." Autism researchers have been hearing reports about it for decades.
Now a team from the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore has done a study that suggests the fever effect is real.
Bonus: I've been to Kennedy Kreiger, a few times, for work. Did some power studies on the high power MRI's that they probably use to do some of this research. A neat personal connection.
