AI autism test can detect the condition with 100% accuracy based on a simple eye scan, study finds - but is it too good to be true?

An artificial intelligence tool can detect autism spectrum disorder with 100-percent accuracy, just by scanning images of children's eyes, according to a new study. If confirmed, this would be a major breakthrough for detecting the condition. But multiple autism experts told DailyMail.com Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children in the US, but many children remain undiagnosed until later in childhood, depriving them of potential therapies. If a technological solution could help cut down on long waits for autism specialists or other obstacles to diagnosis, it could benefit millions of families.
