Earlier Identification of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Automatic Vocalisation-Based Approach

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder usually diagnosed in or beyond toddlerhood. ASD is defined by repetitive and restricted behaviours, and deficits in social communicat ...
