description | Autistic people are often disadvantaged in employment, education, etc. In fact, autistic students/employees face several challenges navigating and communicating with their superiors and colleagues. Mobile applications for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD apps for short) have been increasingly being adapted to help autistic people manage their conditions and daily activities. User feedback analysis is an effective method that can be used to improve ASD apps’ services. In this article, we investigate the usage of ASD apps to improve the quality of life for autistic students/employees based on user feedback analysis. For this purpose, we analyze user reviews suggested on highly ranked ASD apps for college students, and workers. A total of 97,051 reviews have been collected from 13 ASD apps available on Google Play and Apple App stores. The collected reviews have been classified into negative, positive, and neutral opinions. This analysis has been performed using machine learning and deep learning models. The best performances were provided by combining RNN and LSTM models with an accuracy of 96.58% and an AUC of 99.41%. Finally, we provide some recommendations to improve ASD apps to assist developers in upgrading the main services provided by their apps. |
