According to Psychology Headlines Around the World by Medical News Today, the ability to detect autism by as early as 9 Months of Age using a new research tool is on the horizon. Researchers at McMaster University have been working on a method of detecting autism using eye tracker technology to record eye direction while babies look at faces, eyes, and bouncing balls. This measurement method may one day be used to identify autism in infants.
