Autism Fingerprint: Assessment
• Validation Study – 65 caretakers of children with confirmed ASD
• 58 received “high risk of ASD • Sensitivity of 0.89 (low false negative)
– 65 caretakers of children with no ASD • 53 received “low risk of ASD” • Specificity of 0.82 (low false positive)
• Limitations – Possible recall bias – Small study size – Age limitations

Future Directions
• Enhanced visuals
• English language option
• iOS availability
• Include changes to M-CHAT
• Usage and effectiveness

• As Oman is a quickly developing Middle Eastern country with a rapidly expanding population, it is important to implement proper resources for diagnosis and treatment of children with learning (and other) disabilities.
• Free, easy to use mobile application to screen
for autism that is both sensitive (0.89) and specific (0.82)
• AutismFingerprint available for download from the Google Play Store
