Observing several sleep traits could be key to predicting if a child has or will develop autism, new research has suggested. The five factors are: shallow deep sleep, disrupted deep sleep in noisy environments, a brain that continues to react to noises even in deep sleep, shallow sleep even in perfect silence and sensory sensitivity. This allowed researchers to observe how sensitive babies' brains responded to noise without fully disrupting sleep. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>Researchers saw this by measuring slow waves in the babies’ brains. Researchers also found that sensitive babies’ brains could not maintain deep, disconnected sleep when the environment was not perfectly quiet.

This is new money, not coming from within the department’s existing budget. The lesson of this climbdown is clear: if the political pressure is sufficient, the Government will find the money to solve the problem. And that, in turn, makes it harder to hold the line on public spending in future.

I thought that was a really, really lovely touch, and it made me so emotional on the day thinking about it. We also had a table quiz, and all the questions were about the wedding the day before.

In an email to Mr Hamilton, former first minister Mr Salmond said the remit “lays a surprising stress” on whether Ms Sturgeon “interfered in the Scottish Government investigation”.
