Computer-assisted autism screening in young children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a computer-assisted tool to help screen toddlers for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It compares children with autism, developmental delays, language disorders, and typically developing children to improve early detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children must be between 1.5 and 2.5 years old.
- For the autism group: child has a clinical diagnosis of autism (ASD) confirmed with an ADOS-2 assessment.
- For the delay and language groups: child has a clinical diagnosis of global developmental delay or language disorder, with specific developmental scores.
- For the healthy group: typically developing children with normal developmental scores and negative autism screening.
- All children must be born at 37–42 weeks and weigh at least 2500 g at birth.
- Children with certain genetic syndromes (like Rett or Fragile X) or serious health conditions cannot join.

This study compares an early autism opinion made by a community general pediatrician with a more detailed team assessment. It may help improve how families get autism evaluations sooner and more accurately.
This study tests whether a tablet/computer app can reliably spot early autism signs in toddlers. If it works well, it could help families and clinicians screen sooner and more accurately.
This study looks at how children with autism understand social cues compared to other children. It may help improve social skills screening.
This study looks at brain wave patterns in young children with autism to see if they can help predict how their language will develop. It aims to find early clues that could guide therapy and support.
This study tests a training program that helps doctors and nurse practitioners diagnose autism more quickly in young children. If you join, your practice may be trained to do autism evaluations in less time, potentially speeding up diagnosis for families.
This study evaluates whether BlinkLab's smartphone app can accurately identify autism in children ages 2–11. Your child would complete short video assessments at home using your phone, and researchers would review the videos to see if the app's results match standard autism testing.
