The new app is designed in a way that it can manage to detect autism in less than a minute. According to the scientist, with the tracking of movement of eyes, it can identify that child is showing signs of autism spectrum disorder or not. And scientist also mentions that this early detection will definitely help in treatment and improves the result of treatment.
 

"The brain continues to grow and develop after birth. The earlier the diagnosis, the better it is. Then we can inform families and begin therapies which will improve symptoms and outcome," said Michelle Hartley-McAndrew, assistant professor at University at Buffalo (UB) in the US.

"We offer many educational interventions to help children with autism reach the same developmental milestones met by children with typical development," said Kathy Ralabate Doody, an assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo State College.

When a child looking at a picture of social scene example picture of multiple people. The instantly app used to track the eye movement of the child. Eye movement of a kid without autism is totally different from the kid with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This app is more helpful because the accuracy rate of the app is 93.96%.

"Right now it is a prototype. We have to consider if other neurological conditions are included, like ADD, how that will affect the outcome," said Kun Woo Cho, an undergraduate in UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

The rate of this disorder is 2 people per 1000 person around the world. It will take only 54 seconds that makes it less intrusive than other examinations. Even a parent can use this app at home to find the autism in his child.
