Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have clarified the diversity of clinical characterisitcs in the case of siblings of neurodevelopmental disorders including ASD. We also established a method to evaluate the complexity of EEG using nonlinear analysis and graph analysis and clarified that it is useful as a method for objectively evaluating the diagnosis and pathology of neurodevelopmental disorder in children. In addition, we have constructed sibling support system based on these medical evaluations, and have practiced support activities according to individual characteristics and needs.
