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.

JAMA Network Open is a pay-to-publish journal, but it’s from a reputable publisher. There are a few other studies, albeit smaller, that came to similar conclusions (e.g., 95% AUC) and have been published in other journals. Autism is linked to a number of retinal abnormalities that can be detected from photographs. This could be a real thing.
