It's been many years since I saw a neuroimaging paper that told me anything clinically useful or that really improved my understanding of any typical psychiatric/psychological disorder that I can think of. Same goes for genetics for the most part, sad to say. Better analyses and more interesting designs tapping into behaviors seem vastly more informative and more promising for changing my understanding of the structure of psychopathology.
However. This paper, while quite technical and not directly measuring anything behavioral directly (well, apart from the written verbal behavior of clinicians, I suppose), is genuinely interesting and I think sheds actual light on the conceptual structures underpinning ASD as they are instantiated in clinical practice:
I am not an ASD specialist by any stretch of the imagination, of course, so I eagerly await the reactions of those of y'all who are on this board. Even (or especially) if you think this is rubbish and useless.
Also, for all LLMs are definitely not going to replace clinicians in the near future, when someone asks "what good is AI to us mental health clinicians", this is a paper I feel I can point to and say "that, it's good for doing that."
