      ab: This article describes a system and method for the automated presentation of data to and interaction with a computer-maintained database. The author invented, developed, and patented a novel information system, Medigenesis, and then created an adaptation, the web site Autism360.org, to serve the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The site creates an anonymous, multidimensional electronic record of profile items that captures a patient's individuality. An algorithm clusters users, permitting an exchange between individual and collective data. The author provides a general overview of the system's design and presents an example of its power to reveal patterns. The article shows the system's potential for use in research in the context of an analysis of 79482 profile items, comparing 1495 boys vs 336 girls with autism spectrum, in the context of groups who had either high- or low-normal body mass index (BMI).
