#3EEG in 3mo infants is "poorly organized" even compared to 24mo child, so it I would take this one with a grain of salt.

#4Wow that is insanly cool. Especially considering that we don't even know what ASD is, or what could be causing it.
Could this be used for a ASD scale?

I was taking this with a hefty grain of salt, though at least on first pass they seem to have a reasonable cross-validation/testing procedure (which is usually one of my major complaints with comp-neurosci papers). As per 3 month infants, you can see that their classifier does have difficulties at that age bracket, though performance seems to start to saturate around 6 months (table 5).
It would be interesting to give the paper another pass to see how more operational data collection could impact the quality of the data and thus classification results. EEG can be really hit-or-miss with different equipment. More-so with simple features such as the band power ones used within this paper.

#6"An experimenter blew bubbles to distract them." Wasn't expecting my daily does of cute in this Autism study's abstract, but got it anyway.

There has been recent research showing that part of the issue with asd is related to the glutamate system, specifically NMDA. Some sort of genetic transcription problem. Sorry I can't quote the exact paper off hand.

#8Not possible, that's before they've had most of their vaccinations.

I know you're being sarcastic, but it looks like there are 6 vaccines in the first 2 months:

Not that I think it matters - I was just curious based on your post.
