Brainwave Test May Detect Autism

Measuring how quickly a child's brain processes sounds might help identify the severity of autism, according to a new study.Observing children's brainwaves may also allow identification of autism earlier than is currently possible, the study authors reported.
"The finding that the brain's response to certain types of information is associated with autism severity is hugely promising," said senior researcher Sophie Molholm, an associate professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
