Summary

This trial will use a special eye-tracking device called Eyelink Portable Duo to collect information about how participants' eyes move without needing to touch them.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young children aged 12-48 months who are patients at Riley Hospital for Children in Indiana. They must have caregivers who speak English or Spanish and can give consent. It's not open to kids younger than 12 months, older than 48 months, or those with non-English/Spanish-speaking caregivers.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a non-invasive eye-tracking system called Eyelink Portable Duo to see if it can help identify the risk of autism in young children during routine health care visits.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the Eyelink Portable Duo is a non-invasive device used only to track eye movement, there are no expected side effects from its use in this study.
