Abstract

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by repetitive stereotypical behavior and social impairment. Early diagnosis is essential for developing a treatment plan for autism. Although multi-site data can expand the dataset to facilitate the process of data analysis, data heterogeneity between sites and the large amount of data make data analysis difficult.
