Aditi Shankardass

I watched Aditi Shankardass' TED talk. It is amazing to know that many children with disorders are misdiagnosed because doctors don't look at brains. Now with the new technology called EED, doctors can look inside head and see electrical activities of brains. I think this is the way of diagnosing brain disorders in near future.

• Research shows 50 percent of children diagnosed with autism actually suffer from brain seizures.

• One in six children suffers some kind of disorder.

• Interesting story of a child named Justin, who was diagnosed with autism actually had brain seizure, recovered when he was treated with anti-seizure treatment.
