Abstract:
The pathogenesis of autistic spectrum disorders is complicated and the exact etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Major advances in spatial information technology have revealed the potential of spatial information technology as an effective tool in research and treatment for children with autistic spectrum disorders. However, there are too many fragmented research topics. According to recent reports on spatial information technology, there is no precedent for the application of spatial information technology in autistic spectrum disorders in China. Space information technology analysis for autistic spectrum disorders can be divided into the following steps: pre analysis, spatial clustering analysis, spatial model analysis, and interpretation of related results. It is hopeful that the space information technology can provide proposals for the future research on the pathogenesis of autistic spectrum disorders in our country.
