Arm Groups
| Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
|---|---|---|
| Pediatric patients, 16-36 months of age, recruited through pediatric medical clinics | Consecutive pediatric participants will be recruited and enrolled via >= 6 participating sites comprised of pediatric medical clinics (e.g., primary care and family medicine clinics) that are part of the broader Duke University Health System (DUHS) located in North Carolina. Enrollment will proceed until the targets of N = 150 participants diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and N = 200 without autism are reached. |

Detailed Description
This is a pivotal, prospective, double-blind, study to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the SenseToKnow device for the classification of autism spectrum disorder when administered by parents in a sample of patients 16-36 months of age. The trial design is a non-interventional cross-sectional study comparing the SenseToKnow device classification of autism spectrum disorder ("autism") versus non-autism with the patient's diagnostic status based on expert clinical diagnosis in a population of pediatric patients.
