The simple optical illusion that could help to diagnose autism in seconds
Researchers from the University of Pisa have created a simple optical illusion that could test individuals for this disorder which can often be missed by specialists.
Method involves using an optical illusion with two layers of coloured dots
People with autism interpret the two layers of black and white dots differently
Those who the dots as two separate sheets have a more detail-orientated view
This is typical of people who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
People who see a three-dimensional rotating column are less likely to have ASD
