Artificial intelligence, an aid in autism assessment.

Artificial intelligence has become a very important alternative these days. This promising tool is
based on the human Bryan biological network and covers a variety of technologies that can
perform cognitive functions simply by mimicking human intelligence. Efforts to incorporate AI
into the healthcare sector are increasing. By leveraging information and building complex
models, AI could further help lay a strong foundation for better screening and diagnosis of
autism.
A very popular tool that is used is ADOS, which is a semi-
structured evaluation of the communication, the social interaction and the imagination
that is designed to diagnose children who belong at the autistic spectrum
To facilitate screening that is sensitive and specific, studies have used diverse AI methods on
the existing battery of assessments to build models that can be used to classify individuals with
autism. AI has been utilized to predict diagnostic outcomes using developmental evaluations
before the age of 3 years and enable more accurate predictions.To develop a more objective
method in identifying ASD, researchers have investigated the feasibility of using AI to capture
different types of behavioral features to use as valuable information in detecting characteristics
that are unique to individuals with the disorder.
implementing AI in the general healthcare system still faces numerous obstacles. One of the
difficulties we face when dealing with the children is to determine what they feel, especially
autistic children, as those with this disease suffer from a difficulty in accommodating to the
environment around them. One way to overcome this problem is by using assistive technologies
and finding ways how to benefit from the use of technology of intelligent systems to help these
children. An assistive smart environment has the effort to improve the quality of life for large
populations of users:
elderly, individuals with physical impairments, and individuals with cognitive disabilities and
developmental and social disorders
While machine learning algorithms heavily depend on the training dataset, there has not yet
been any extensive research assessing how the quality of the input data affects the accuracy or
targeting to establish a protocol on data collection and cleaning. Requiring vast amounts of
data, the ethical challenge around data privacy is also another topic that is under debate.
Being able to overcome these challenges to incorporate AI in clinical settings will not only
enhance our understanding of ASD, but also enable healthcare professionals to use this
technique as a clinical decision support system that can objectively intervene throughout the
screening, diagnosis, and treatment process.
To achieve more security for the data, cloud computing services can be used to improve the
results to be more accurate. Moreover, optimization algorithms can be performed to help
parents in improving the behavior of their Autistic children in an easy way using this technology.
