Now, a simple test to detect autism in minutes!

Now, a simple test to detect autism in minutes!: "Now, a simple test that can detect autism in just 10 minutes, say scientists.
A team from the Harvard University-affiliated McLean Hospital and University of Utah has devised the revolutionary test which it claims not only takes just 10 minutes but also costs 100 pounds.
According to the scientists, using MRI scans to measure deviations in brain circuits, the test can detect high-functioning autism with 94 per cent accuracy.
The test could be available in hospitals in five years, replacing a series of checks carried out by psychologists and psychiatrists, which rely on subjective opinions only, the 'Daily Express' reported."
