Diagnostic Revolution: The Tiny Sensor That Detects Autism as Early as Two Months Old
Scientists at Ohio University have succeeded in developing a groundbreaking method that allows distinguishing between autism and intellectual disability as early as the first months of a baby's life, using a tiny nano sensor and…
Assessment
Researchers at Ohio State University report a nanotechnology based sensor that can distinguish autism from intellectual disability in infants as young as two months. Until now, formal diagnosis has required months or years of observing speech and behavioral development. If the sensor proves reliable in clinical settings, it could dramatically shorten the diagnostic timeline and enable earlier intervention.
