ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking for ways to identify autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children and teenagers at an early stage. Researchers want to develop a new screening tool that uses eye tracking and motion analysis, which means they will observe how children look at things and move around to gather important information. This study is currently recruiting participants under 19 years old, and it’s open to everyone, regardless of gender.

To participate, children must be healthy without any significant hearing or vision issues that could affect their involvement. Parents or guardians will need to agree to join the study after learning all the details and understanding the process fully. Participants can expect to take part in activities that help researchers learn about their behavior and movement patterns. This is an important step towards creating better tools for early diagnosis of ASD, which can lead to earlier support and intervention for children who need it.
