Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Background:

Early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is crucial for timely intervention and improved long-term outcomes.
Machine learning (ML) offers promising avenues for developing accurate predictive models for ASD in early childhood.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a scoping review of ML-based prediction models for ASD in early childhood.
To establish a technical and conceptual foundation for enhancing early ASD detection through ML.

Main Methods:

Systematic retrieval of studies on ML-driven ASD prediction models from eight major databases.
Adherence to scoping review methodology for data extraction and analysis.

Main Results:

16 studies utilized diverse ML algorithms for ASD identification; tree-based methods, neural networks, and support vector machines were most common.
High predictive performance was reported, with 75% of studies achieving an Area Under the Curve (AUC) > 0.7, and 44% achieving AUC > 0.9.

Conclusions:

ML-based models demonstrate significant promise for early ASD identification, crucial for enhancing patient outcomes.
Future research should prioritize standardizing ML frameworks, refining theoretical bases, and rigorous clinical validation for practical application.
