Abstract(in English) [Background] Narrative by patients with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) contains wide range of clinical information about their quality of life (QOL). However, the methodologies for analyzing patient narrative, so far, have mainly relied on qualitative analysis. [Objective] In this study, the ASD patient narrative was converted into the numeric data by using various NLP-based analysis, and the relations between the narrative data and their levels of ASD were compared and tested. [Material/Method] We have built the transcriptions of patient narrative, and then divided the patients into two groups according to the SRS^-2 score; (group A) the high-level ASD patients (the SRS^-2 score >= 76), (group B) low to intermediate-level ASD patients (the SRS^-2 score <76). We calculated 4 NLP-based metrics of each patient from the transcription. [Result/Discussion] The high-level ASD group shows significantly lower Japanese vocabulary level (p<0.05). [Conclusion] The clinical application based on this finding should be available in the near future, and more detailed study for the language metrics particularly for ASD is awaited for further investigation.
