Had a read of the PR NewsWire story, and yes, early diagnosis & intervention is important and no doubt technological approach is important and helpful.... But why is everyone just focusing on creating bandaids to fix a problem rather than working out why there is such an increase in neurodevelopmental conditions. The question "WHY" raises a very contentious topic on why the increase!!! And please don't tell me its climate change !!!

Autism is an increasingly common neurodevelopmental condition that today affects one in every 54 children in the United States, a 178% increase in prevalence since 2000. While autism can be reliably diagnosed in children as early as 18 months, the average age of autism diagnosis has remained at 4 to 5 years old for decades.Any who, my point is most likely for another forum. I will keep watching BB1 with interest.

One of the main reasons of increase in Autism cases is better diagnostics comparing to 5 and 10 years ago where Autistic kids were not diagnosed correctly unless they were sever on the spectrum...and that is important because all these kids can get help in specialized schools, better ABA therapies and earlier the better. Also think about the countries where healthcare is minimal and these kids are left over on a streets or in orphanages... telehealthcare could be a good solution there
