    Jagadesh Balasubramani1, Surendran Rajendran1,*, Mohammad Zakariah2, Abeer Alnuaim2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.83, No.2, pp. 2793-2807, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.062266 - 16 April 2025

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurological developmental condition that manifests in several ways. Nearly all autistic children remain undiagnosed before the age of three. Developmental problems affecting face features are often associated with fundamental brain disorders. The facial evolution of newborns with ASD is quite different from that of typically developing children. Early recognition is very significant to aid families and parents in superstition and denial. Distinguishing facial features from typically developing children is an evident manner to detect children analyzed with ASD. Presently, artificial intelligence (AI) significantly contributes to the emerging computer-aided… More >

    Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm and Logistic Regression Classifier

    Shabana R. Ziyad1,*, Liyakathunisa2, Eman Aljohani2, I. A. Saeed3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.2, pp. 1515-1534, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.040874 - 29 November 2023

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), classified as a developmental disability, is now more common in children than ever. A drastic increase in the rate of autism spectrum disorder in children worldwide demands early detection of autism in children. Parents can seek professional help for a better prognosis of the child’s therapy when ASD is diagnosed under five years. This research study aims to develop an automated tool for diagnosing autism in children. The computer-aided diagnosis tool for ASD detection is designed and developed by a novel methodology that includes data acquisition, feature selection, and classification phases.… More >

    The Electrophysiology of Semantic Processing in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Meta-Analysis

    Danfeng Yuan1, Xiangyun Yang1, Lijuan Yang1, Zhanjiang Li1,2,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.10, pp. 1067-1079, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.041430 - 03 November 2023

    Abstract Language difficulties vary widely among people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the semantic processing of autistic person and its underlying electrophysiological mechanism are still unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the disturbance of semantic processing in patients with ASD. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for event-related potential (ERP) studies on semantic processing in autistic people published in English before September 01, 2022. Pooled estimates were calculated by fixed-effects or random-effects models according to the heterogeneity using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.0. The potential moderators were explored by meta-regression and subgroup analysis. This meta-analysis… More >

    Eye-Tracking Based Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis Using Chaotic Butterfly Optimization with Deep Learning Model

    Tamilvizhi Thanarajan1, Youseef Alotaibi2, Surendran Rajendran3,*, Krishnaraj Nagappan4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 1995-2013, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039644 - 30 August 2023

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be defined as a neurodevelopmental condition or illness that can disturb kids who have heterogeneous characteristics, like changes in behavior, social disabilities, and difficulty communicating with others. Eye tracking (ET) has become a useful method to detect ASD. One vital aspect of moral erudition is the aptitude to have common visual attention. The eye-tracking approach offers valuable data regarding the visual behavior of children for accurate and early detection. Eye-tracking data can offer insightful information about the behavior and thought processes of people with ASD, but it is important to… More >

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a challenging and complex neuro-development syndrome that affects the child’s language, speech, social skills, communication skills, and logical thinking ability. The early detection of ASD is essential for delivering effective, timely interventions. Various facial features such as a lack of eye contact, showing uncommon hand or body movements, babbling or talking in an unusual tone, and not using common gestures could be used to detect and classify ASD at an early stage. Our study aimed to develop a deep transfer learning model to facilitate the early detection of ASD based More >
