While technology has influenced today's society in many aspects, how does it advance research and practice in the field of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)? In this article, we provide a narrative review of how technology enhances early detection, subtype stratification, and intervention of ASD through advancements in both hardware and software, including neuroimaging, telehealth, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, given that technology has become an intrinsic part of humans' daily lives, we discuss how technology can be considered more broadly as a sociocultural context for individuals with ASD in future assessments, diagnoses, and research.
虽然技术在许多方面影响了当今社会，但它如何推动自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）领域的研究和实践呢？在本文中，我们对技术如何通过硬件和软件的进步，包括神经成像、远程医疗和人工智能，来加强ASD的早期检测、亚型分层和干预进行了叙述性综述。此外，鉴于技术已成为人类日常生活中不可或缺的一部分，我们讨论了在未来的评估、诊断和研究中，如何更广泛地将技术视为ASD患者的社会文化背景。
