    Researchers have found new evidence that autism can be diagnosed with a simple stool sample.

    Scientists have determined that autistic people have different gut microbes that can be detected in the fecal sample, according to the study .

    This test is significantly cheaper and provides a quicker diagnosis than the current three to four years it takes to make a confirmed diagnosis for suspected autism.

    Experts say, "The process for diagnosing a child with autism heavily relies on a parent's description of their child’s behavior and a professional’s observations. It leaves plenty of room for human error."
