Diagnostic Screening and Measurement: - Look at the validity of
the DMIC for diagnosis of developmental and learning disorders,
as it strives to parse the symptoms of ASDs in a manner that
provides finer descriptions of individuals in the broad
spectrum, and through this lead to more specific, individualized
understanding and therefore intervention for these persons. -
Re-evaluation tools need to be developed and standardized to
measure progress of autism symptoms over time. - Population
attribute data gathering studies should store their data in RDF
format so that inferencing and relationship visualization
software can be utilized. Using RDF (graph) structured data will
require pre-study database design planning in order to properly
acquire, represent, and store this information. - The job of
identifying the key ASD environmental factor(s) should have
major involvement by computer scientists with extensive
expertise in probabilistic multivariate data min
