Abstract

The Editor has retracted and removed this publication. Concerns were raised regarding the use of images of minors from a non-curated dataset. The dataset is reported to contain images of children with ASD. However, the images appear to have been collected from the internet without any documented clinical history or confirmation of an actual ASD diagnosis. Additionally, there is no documented ethical oversight, or consent of the children included in the dataset or their parents and legal guardians.
