This is great. Article explains the method and sample size. This could be a great tool, and I hope it can be applied to any age. Many people who are on the spectrum and are high functioning can go most of their lives without a diagnosis while struggling to understand why the world feels so different to them.
According to the study:
So not any age, but fairly early on.
This is particularly useful, since it would be easy to mass deploy. A quick photo, during a childhood checkup, and it can be easily checked. It doesn't need to be focused, so could catch a lot more, less obvious cases.
As an autistic myself, an early diagnosis would have potentially helped a lot. This would still be true of those who mask well.
