It is 2018 after all and according to a new study in Science Translational Medicine, the brain scans can predict autism in babies before symptoms show up. Brain imaging can predict it with more than 96 percent accuracy.
Coauthor on the study Joseph Piven of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine said:
