No, our test is not yet validated to diagnose autism. Your child's data will not be shared and is solely used for our research. Our goal is to develop a tool that assists clinicians with autism diagnostic evaluation.
The test itself will take about 20 to 30 minutes, during which your child will watch three videos lasting 5–10 minutes each. The setup and intake process will take an additional 20 minutes or less. In total, we ask for about an hour of your time.
During the test, unexpected sounds are played to elicit natural reflexes. These sounds might cause slight discomfort or mild stress. However, the test is at home, includes engaging children's videos, and is quick to complete, ensuring minimal disruption for your child.

First and foremost: we handle your and your child's data with care, complying to all patient data regulations like HIPAA. The data generated from the test anonymized before it is used in our research.
Yes, your child’s data is kept strictly confidential. We prioritize privacy and security by encrypting all collected data and storing it securely to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, we anonymize data, separating it from personal identifiers, such as names and dates of birth, ensuring it cannot be traced back to your child. The data is used solely to provide insights and improve our research and is never shared, sold, or used for any other purposes. You retain full control over your child’s data, with options to review, download, or delete it at any time.
After completing the test, a $100 giftcard will be sent to you through email.
