Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

New Scientist is reporting the development of a new diagnostic tool that allows the diagnosis of ADHD using an eye tracking test. This may be an important step forward as ADHD is normally a subjective diagnosised based on behaviour or cognative tests.  The eye-tracking test measures how long the participant can track a spot of light moving on a screen. Normal children could track for 30 seconds to five minutes but ADHD sufferers could only track for three to five seconds. The test also points the way to future work in indentifying those who patients who would respond well to drug treatment such as  Ritalin.
