I'm honestly not sure if this whole thing is a good thing or a freaking scary thing.

At the back of the eye, the retina and the optic nerve connect at the optic disc. An extension of the central nervous system, the structure is a window into the brain and researchers have started capitalizing on their ability to easily and non-invasively access this body part to obtain important brain-related information.

Column A: yes

Column B: also yes

It's way less scary in the actual linked paper:

Given that the retina can reflect structural brain alterations as they are embryonically and anatomically connected,12 this could be corroborated by evidence that brain abnormalities associated with visual pathways are observed in ASD.

TLDR: Abnormal developments in the brain that have visual components may closely correlate with abnormal developments in the eye.
