Comparison of t-SNE clustering analysis for top 2000 ASD patients and 2000 psychiatric (non-ASD) patients using our terminology set (a) and using Lingren’s terminology set (b). Since not all the patients contain the ASD vocabulary developed by Lingren et al., we only analyzed patients containing these terms. Results showed that our terminology set separates ASD patients from general psychiatric (non-ASD) patients much better than Lingren’s list. From the t-SNE plot, we can see ASD patients can be further divided into 4 subgroups; however, one group of ASD patients (cluster 4) is mixed with non-ASD psychiatric patients
