Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurological developmental disorder that effects at least 1% of the population, the majority of cases are high functioning individuals who struggle to get positive diagnoses that are vital to obtain community support. In this study, we have created and tested a Fuzzy Inferencing System to support clinicians, psychologists, family members and relevant stake holders to increase the chances for high functioning individuals to get a referral for full assessment to determine an autism diagnosis.
