Hence, fast and effective screening methods that are easily accessible is imperative to help health professionals and inform individuals whether they require a formal clinical diagnosis for ASD. Purpose: Thus, this study focused on analysing a dataset from an ASD screening tool, to meticulously process the raw data and derive meaningful insights from it. This study made use of a dataset that contained information about adolescent from age 12 to 16. The steps involved from the pre-processing of the data to analysing the data to deriving meaningful insights from the data are discussed in detail. Findings from the data are critically discussed and suggestions for improvement are also provided. Conclusion: In a nutshell, this study aims to serve as a complete guide to effectively manage, from raw data to derive meaningful insights, regarding ASD screening.&#13;
