A neurologist used a specially designed EEG device to discover that a child diagnosed with Autism actually had a seizure disorder that was treatable, and the child eventually developed speech, social skills, and was able to interact as a typically developing child.

Aditi Shankardass's 7-minute talk explains that one in six children has a developmental disorder, some of whom can be treated when properly diagnosed using new technology:
