Can a brain scan detect autism? Is it objectively detectable without interviews or behavioral observation?

[turminal]

No, it isn't detectable like that.

At least not yet.

I think it sorta is, but those are specifically tests that monitor brain activity when someone is thinking about stuff. Autistic brains are like a bit less organized in where thoughts happen or something like that iirc

Has there been a study done yet similar to the racial bias in medical imaging study to see if a neural net can detect it?

>similar to the racial bias

can you give pointers please.

[77pt77]

Like most "brain" problems, like schizophrenia, ADHD and bipolar, the answer is no.

There is no imaging or biochemical test to diagnose any of these conditions.

It all comes down to whether someone with authority likes the "patient" and deems them "worthy of life".
