Abstract
The autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are behaviorally-defined developmental disorders of the immature brain which affects three domains of behavior: sociability and empathy; communication, language and imagination; and mental flexibility and range of interests. Main symptoms include motion disorders and stereotyped behaviors. This paper presents an architecture for recognizing and reporting of anomalous behaviors. The proposed method adopts Situation-Awareness paradigm for the recognition of anomalous behaviors. The architecture enriches the recognizing process with temporal information such as duration and frequency. Results are under validation at the Department of Child Psychiatry at Children' s Hospital Santobono-Pausilipon in Naples.
