Abstract:
While technology has influenced today's society in many aspects, how does it advance research and practice in the field of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)? In this article, we provide a narrative review of how technology enhances early detection, subtype stratification, and intervention of ASD through advancements in both hardware and software, including neuroimaging, telehealth, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, given that technology has become an intrinsic part of humans' daily lives, we discuss how technology can be considered more broadly as a sociocultural context for individuals with ASD in future assessments, diagnoses, and research.
