samazon writes: Harvard researchers using a series of machine-learning algorithms have determined that the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, used to diagnose autism, can be condensed to an eight question survey without compromising accuracy (abstract).

In addition, the survey is ideal for use in a mobile platform to add to the expanding list of apps geared toward people with autism and their families.
