While we can reliably diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at 24 months, most children are diagnosed much later. This is largely due to:
- a lack of resources,
- poor adherence to screening guidelines
- and the fact that primary care physicians are often uncomfortable talking about autism risk to parents.
But what if we could use a simple and easy, routine eye test to screen every baby for autism?
