Proposal to diagnose autism from home videos draws criticism Digital diagnosis: Undergraduate students watching short YouTube videos accurately identified autism 96.8 percent of the time. Untrained volunteers can reliably detect signs of autism in children by watching home videos of the children posted on YouTube, suggests a study published 16 April in PLoS One1. But critics say fundamental design flaws in the study, including the lack of controls for age or gender, undermine its results. Also, they say, this technique cannot diagnose complex behaviors, or distinguish autism from other developmental disorders.
