New iPhone app can spot AUTISM by tracking kids' faces as they watch videos

Parents can now download an iPhone app to screen their children for autism. The tool uses the phone's camera to track the child's facial movement as they watch short clips on the screen. Specially-designed coding software detects tell-tale movements in the child's face that are signs of the disorder, which could takes weeks of sessions for trained medical professionals to spot. The app is expected to reignite controversy between the United States Preventive Services Task Force and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which disagree on screening. The USPSTF warns against widespread screening of children for autism, after a review found it leads to more false positives and hydochondria.
