For the latest version, the specialists have made films with the help of which it is possible to evaluate what exactly children pay attention to in them: objects or people. According to researchers, children without autism watch the movie full screen, more often paying attention to people. At the same time, children with autism, on the contrary, often focused on a certain area of ​​the screen with the subject.

The researchers note that the app itself takes 10 minutes to test children for autism. This requires an iPhone or iPad and their front camera to record the child’s behavior.
