From coping with his son's autism diagnosis to breaking new grounds in autism research, Paul's life has been an unexpected journey full of inspiring perseverance and groundbreaking work. Paul's pioneering research primarily focuses on exploring the potential of retina signals in autism diagnosis. He has utilized eye signals and artificial intelligence to develop more accurate and faster diagnostic processes.

Listen to his personal account of raising a son with autism and his ground-breaking strategies for testing children with poor communication skills. In this episode, we shed a light on the hopeful future of autism diagnostics, the potential treatment implications, and the groundbreaking research that links personal experiences with professional passion.
