Autism is a developmental disorder that affects social interaction and communication of children. The gold standard diagnostic tools are very difficult to use and time consuming. However, diagnostic could be deduced from child gaze preferences by looking a video with social and abstract scenes. In this work, we propose an algorithm based on convolutional neural networks to predict gaze direction for a fast and effective autism diagnosis. Early results show that our algorithm achieves real-time response and robust high accuracy for prediction of gaze direction.
