Desenvolvimento de um aplicativo mobile para conscientização e auxílio ao diagnóstico de crianças e adultos portadores do transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

This course completion work aimed to assist in the early diagnosis of children who may have the autism spectrum disorder through a mobile application. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders classifies autism into three levels: Level 1 - Low; Level 2 - Moderate; and Level 3 - High. The work also presented some points that are highlighted in adults who are not diagnosed with the spectrum disorder, and that many of them fit within the profile of the disorder and end up getting carried away with time and moving further and further away from a preliminary treatment. To conduct this research, it was necessary to use other related articles, which had objectives in common with this work. This research was related to themes such as: Early diagnosis for children - The use of technology to diagnose autism spectrum disorder, among others. Finally, we conducted a questionnaire to keep the numbers and use to evaluate this application and this work as a whole.
