3-D Face Scanning Could Help Detect Autism in Children
From: Medical Design Technology - 07/25/2016

will help detect autism in children as young as a year old, which is at least
one year earlier than current practices allow for.

The study is scanning the faces of children with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD), as well as their siblings and parents to provide insights into ASD and
earlier detection.

While autism isn't normally thought to have distinctive face features, recent
studies found small facial anomalies.
