      ab: A nonlinear pattern recognition system, neural network technology, was explored for its utility in assisting in the classification of autism. It was compared with a more traditional approach, simultaneous and stepwise linear discriminant analyses, in terms of the ability of each methodology to both classify and predict persons as having autism or mental retardation based on information obtained from a new structured parent interview: the Autistic Behavior Interview. The neural network methodology was superior to discriminant function analysis both in its ability to classify groups (92 vs. 85%) and to generalize to new cases that were not part of the training sample (92 vs. 82%). Interrater and test-retest reliabilities and measures of internal consistency were satisfactory for most of the subscales in the Autistic Behavior Interview. The implications of neural network technology for diagnosis, in general, and for understanding of possible core deficits in autism are discussed.
