There is an increasing focus on research exploring autistic communication and community. In this review, we systematically collate and analyse how autistic adults describe their experiences of other autistic people and the relationship this has with their Quality of Life (QoL).

Autistic children often have comorbid somatic problems. However, in adulthood, this has been much less studied. We investigated the associations between autistic symptoms and irritable bowel syndrome, food allergy, pain, and fatigue in adulthood and examined sex and life-course differences herein.

Our study used video clips of autistic and non-autistic people recounting emotional events to test if participants from the general population could: track the intensity of the narrators’ emotions; name and feel the same emotion; match where the narrator felt the emotion and indicate how intensely they felt the emotion using a body map.

We introduce Get Free Copy (https://getfreecopy.com), a web-based platform designed to streamline the search for biomedical literature across major repositories like arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and PubMed Central (PMC). Addressing challenges posed by paywalls and fragmented databases, it offers a unified interface for efficient retrieval of free, legitimate copies of biomedical literature. The platform's implementation involves a Node.js backend and dynamic front-end display, enhancing accessibility and research efficiency. As an open-source project, Get Free Copy represents a significant contribution to the open-access movement, inviting global researcher collaboration for further development.

While ChatGPT has gained popularity in various domains, it may not be the ideal focus for medical professionals due to its reliance on language pattern prediction rather than direct fact retrieval, potentially leading to inaccurate outputs. We emphasize the limitations of ChatGPT's training data, which mainly come from non-specialized sources and may result in misleading answers in highly specialized medical domains. We advocate for a shift towards specialized medical large language models (LLMs) that are trained using authoritative medical databases, supplemented by human validation, to ensure accuracy and completeness of data.
This study aimed to establish quality criteria to assist patients, caregivers, and the public in evaluating the reliability of online health information.
