A study of more than 200,000 births in Southern California found that exposure to wildfire smoke during the third trimester was associated with higher autism diagnoses by age five. Researchers say the results are not conclusive and need more study.
Researchers created NeuroBridge, an AI tool that shows how autistic and non-autistic people can interpret speech differently. The tool gives example replies and trains clearer, more direct communication based on autistic preferences.
Researchers at the University of Missouri tested the FDA-approved CanvasDx, an AI device, to help primary care evaluate autism where specialty centres are far away. In a study it gave determinate results for 52% of 80 children and matched clinicians' diagnoses.
