Autism research dynamic through ontology-based text mining
Advances in Autism, < a href="http://www.emeraldinsight.com/toc/aia/2/3" > Volume 2, Issue 3 < /a > , Page 131-139, July 2016. < br/ > Purpose – The increase of prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been accompanied by much new research. The amount and the speed of growth of scientific information available online have strongly influenced the way of work in the research community which calls for new methods and tools to suppo rt it. The purpose of this paper is to present ontology-based text mining in the field of autism trend analysis that may help to understand the broader picture of the disorder since it...

How useful are the Adult Asperger Assessment and AQ-10 within an adult clinical population of all intellectual abilities?
This study was undertaken as part of a service development improvement process. The specific demographics of this clinical po pulation may have influenced the findings. The process will need to be repeated to ensure that the results are consistent across time and increased sample size. The population of patients with an intellectual disability is small, further studies into the use of the AAA or the design of other intelle ctual disability specific screening tools should be pursued. It is of note that the AAA was never intended for use within an intellectual disability population. Originality/value – This is an origi...

Autism spectrum disorder traits among prisoners
Advances in Autism, < a href="http://www.emeraldinsight.com/toc/aia/2/3" > Volume 2, Issue 3 < /a > , Page 106-117, July 2016. < br/ > Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits among prisoners. The authors tested the hypotheses that ASD traits would: be continuously distributed among prisoners; be unrecognised by prison staff; and predict whether a prisoner met diagnostic crit eria for ASD. Design/methodology/approach – ASD traits were measured among 240 prisoners in a male prison in London, UK using the 20-item Autism Quotient (AQ-20). Further diagnos...
