Medical News Today

"Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism."

Thought this might be of interest.

That is really interesting.

I wonder if they have investigated whether other senses might also be slower? Maybe it could help explain sensory issues with touch, taste, etc. too.

Wouldn't life would be easier if asd could be dx with a scan!
