Quick eye test may spot autism risk in toddlers
NCT ID NCT06471504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Researchers at Indiana University are studying whether a short, non-invasive eye-tracking test can help detect autism risk in children aged 12 to 48 months. The test uses a camera to measure eye movements and pupil size while children watch pictures and videos. Results will be compared to standard clinical autism evaluations to see if the eye-tracking method is reliable.
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 quick, non-invasive tool to help identify autism risk earlier, potentially speeding up access to support and therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (100 children) focused on measuring agreement with clinical diagnosis, not on treatment. The eye-tracking test may not be accurate enough to replace standard evaluations.
