SOUTH SOMERSET: Carers’ visit from the Princess Royal
A good chance for carers to speak with Her Royal Highness.
HER ROYAL Highness The Princess Royal is to attend this year’s annual Somerset Carers’ Day conference on Monday, July 25th, at Dillington House, near Ilminster.
The day is an opportunity for carers and health and social care professionals to meet socially, listen to guest speakers and participate in a variety of workshops.
During the hour long visit Her Royal Highness will give an address to carers followed by an opportunity to talk informally with those attending.
‘Biomarker’ for autism discovered
Richard Mills, Director of Research at The National Autistic Society (NAS), said:
Autism is highly heterogenous. This study does not answer all the questions on its causes; but it does give the scientific community the opportunity to further investigate what genes the ‘biomarker’ (in this case, reduced brain activity) affects, and possibly expand on our theories on the causes of autism. As such, we welcome its findings.
