Can a simple eye exam help diagnose autism?
Plots of the association between each assessment and autism spectrum quotient. The regression line (Ordinary least squares) is plotted in black with 95% confidence bands around the regression line in gray. The light dashed line denotes the AQ score threshold reported to reliably separate clinical ASD (Auyeung, et al., 2008). Credit: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders (2023).
