The article reviews 55 machine‑learning studies on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) published between 2017 and 2023, focusing on how ML can aid early diagnosis and treatment. It finds that supervised learning dominates current research, while deep learning is gaining traction as data volumes grow. The review highlights the need for models that fuse complex data—such as genetic, clinical, wearable, and biometric sources—to improve diagnostic accuracy and enable continuous, non‑intrusive monitoring.

UniAR is a unified framework that improves autism spectrum disorder (ASD) recognition by using multi-granularity prompt learning and a large multimodal model to generate diagnostic descriptions at word, phrase, and sentence levels. It aligns these semantic representations with visual evidence through a Mixture-of-Experts-based Multi-Scale Alignment Module, enabling robust ASD detection across heterogeneous data types. Experiments on four brain MRI and facial expression benchmarks show that UniAR outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving 75.9% accuracy on MRI and 91.6% on facial benchmarks, with gains of 1.5 and 1.2 percentage points respectively.

The paper introduces MH‑INDIC, a framework that evaluates maternal‑health language model interactions in North Indian urban and semi‑urban settings by measuring cultural alignment across ten dimensions of reasoning. Using a survey of 102 pregnant and postpartum women, the authors assess ten LLMs, finding that while models approximate overall population‑level cultural patterns, they lack the demographic and household‑specific variation seen in humans. The study also demonstrates that human‑grounded conditioning improves both profile alignment and dialogue quality in generated interactions.
