Breakthrough as US researchers 'crack the autism code'

Researchers have developed a method for diagnosing autism which could spare families years of uncertainty and spur crucial earlier treatments.

The new analysis can identify the genetic markers of autism via biological activity in the brain, they report, with 89 to 95 percent accuracy.

This new method starts out with standard brain-mapping via before re-analyzing those scans via AI to detect the movements of proteins, nutrients and other processes within the brain that may indicate autism.
