Many parents wonder if their child might have autism. Many parents use their smartphones to answer health questions. We asked, "How easy or hard is it for parents to use their smartphones to find 'tools' to test their child for signs of autism?" After doing pretend parent searches, we found that only one in 10 search results were tools to test children for autism. These tools were not designed for parents who have low income or other challenges such as low literacy skills, low English proficiency, or not being tech-savvy.
许多父母想知道他们的孩子是否患有自闭症。许多父母使用智能手机来回答健康问题。我们问道：“父母使用智能手机寻找‘工具’来测试孩子是否有自闭症迹象，这有多容易或多困难？”在进行了假装父母的搜索后，我们发现只有十分之一的搜索结果是用于测试儿童自闭症的工具。这些工具并非专为收入较低或其他挑战（如低识字能力、低英语水平或不精通技术）的父母设计。
