Autism spectrum disorder, fragile X syndrome, and Rett syndrome are developmental disorders with a late clinical onset and, therefore, a diagnosis typically beyond infancy. In this thesis, the feasibility of an automatic recognition of these disorders based on acoustic characteristics of pre-linguistic vocalisations and machine learning methodology was evaluated. The generated results may pave the way for a reliable earlier recognition of currently 'late diagnosed' developmental disorders facilitating earlier intervention.
