Abstract

Social media platforms are becoming increasingly popular for discussing health-related topics. Our research focused on analyzing autism-related posts on the Reddit platform, including the r/autism, r/aspergers, and r/AutismIn - Women subreddits. We employed multiple approaches in our investigation: we conducted word frequency and sentiment analysis, defined symptom-based categories, and explored their interrelations. For the analyses, we used machine learning models in a Python environment, including BERT and DistilRoBERTa. Final statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4. Our findings indicate that the discussions primarily focus on challenges related to emotional regulation, social relationships, and sensory issues. In the textual data analysis, emotional expressions prominently featured fear beyond the neutral category, while expressions of joy were less prevalent. The results of our study highlight the distinctive characteristics of online conversations about autism. These insights can help professionals and healthcare providers better understand the everyday challenges and needs of individuals with autism, enabling them to offer more effective and targeted support.

[孤独症在线论坛定量分析]。
讨论健康相关话题的社交媒体平台越来越受欢迎。我们的研究重点是分析Reddit平台上与自闭症相关的帖子,包括r/autism, r/aspergers和r/AutismIn - Women子版块。我们在调查中采用了多种方法:我们进行了词频和情绪分析,定义了基于症状的类别,并探讨了它们之间的相互关系。为了进行分析,我们在Python环境中使用了机器学习模型,包括BERT和DistilRoBERTa。最后使用SAS 9.4版本进行统计分析。我们的研究结果表明,讨论主要集中在与情绪调节、社会关系和感官问题相关的挑战上。在文本数据分析中,情绪表达明显以恐惧为特征,而喜悦的表达则不那么普遍。我们的研究结果突出了关于自闭症的在线对话的独特特征。这些见解可以帮助专业人员和医疗保健提供者更好地了解自闭症患者的日常挑战和需求,使他们能够提供更有效和有针对性的支持。
