These challenges may be ameliorated in part through development of a novel, community member informed assessment tool designed to elicit autism characteristics using remote technologies. To promote adult identification and autistic perspective within diagnosis, we developed a novel tele-diagnostic tool, the Tele-ASD Diagnostic Assessment Tool for Adolescents and Adults (TADA). We applied a machine learning and feature engineering approach to a clinical research data set of adults and adolescents with and without autism diagnoses. We conducted a principal component analysis to identify the features most predictive of diagnostic status (autistic / not autistic). We presented those features to community members (autistic adults, researchers, and clinicians) who provided input on potential format and components of the assessment. We assembled activities to elicit those features into a new measure, TADA, which was re-presented to community members for final refinement. We also gathered community input from undiagnosed adults on satisfaction with TADA as part of diagnostic evaluation. Combining these findings with clinical and lived expertise shows promise for an assessment tool that meets the needs of the autistic community, with potential use in both research and broader assessment contexts.
