O diagnóstico precoce dos distúrbios do espectro do autismo pode melhorar as vidas de todos os afetados, mas a complexa rede de causas torna a predição incrivelmente difícil. No TEDxPeachtree, Ami Klin descreve um novo método de detecção que utiliza tecnologia de oculometria para medir habilidades de envolvimento social de bebês e determinar com confiança o risco de desenvolver autismo. (Filmado no TEDxPeachTree.)

Ami Klin: Uma nova forma para diagnosticar autismo

Autism disrupts the subtle, intuitive dance of social connection that begins in infancy. New research shows that infants who later develop autism diverge from typical social engagement patterns within their first months of life, often focusing on objects rather than people’s eyes. Eye-tracking technology now allows scientists to spot these differences before classic symptoms appear, opening a window for much earlier intervention. Harnessing this early detection could fundamentally change long-term outcomes for millions, reducing isolation and disability.
