Researchers have taken photographs of children’s retinas and screened them using a deep learning AI algorithm to diagnose autism with 100% accuracy. The findings support using AI as an objective screening tool for early diagnosis, especially when access to a specialist child psychiatrist is limited.

      A convolutional neural network, a deep learning algorithm, was trained using 85% of the retinal images and symptom severity test scores to construct models to screen for ASD and ASD symptom severity. The remaining 15% of images were retained for testing.

      It correctly identified 100% of the testing images. So it’s accurate.

    Sensitivity or specificity? Sensitivity is easy, just say every person is positive and you’ll find 100% of true positives. Specificity is the hard problem.

    Bull.Shit.

    Define the criteria, have it peer reviewed and diagnosed, or else we will ALL be diagnosed with Autism soon enough.
