Eye-Tracking test could spot autism in toddlers

NCT ID NCT06703125

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple, non-invasive eye-tracking test can help diagnose autism in young children (ages 24-72 months) born to mothers with HIV in Kenya. Researchers will compare eye-tracking results with standard clinical autism evaluations in 850 children. If the eye-tracking test proves accurate, it could offer a faster, more accessible way to identify autism early.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive tool to help diagnose autism earlier in children, especially in resource-limited settings.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The eye-tracking test may not accurately predict autism in all children, and results may not apply to other populations.
