Hi Natalia,

Here are a few variations on your sentence with the results.

The following results in a polarity of 1 for all of the
DiseaseDisorderMentions. "Unspecified pervasive developmental disorder,
active state"

    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention
_indexed="1" _id="180" _ref_sofa="1" begin="0" end="44" id="0"

"Unspecified pervasive developmental disorder,*current or *active state"
results with one negative polarity.

    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention
_indexed="1" _id="204" _ref_sofa="1" begin="0" end="44" id="0"

"*- *Unspecified pervasive developmental disorder, current or active
state*- *" results in three negative polarities.

    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention
_indexed="1" _id="180" _ref_sofa="1" begin="39" end="47" id="3"
_ref_ontologyConceptArr="177" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

_ref_ontologyConceptArr="256" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

conditional="false" generic="false" subject="patient" historyOf="0"/>
    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention

_ref_ontologyConceptArr="339" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"
discoveryTechnique="1" confidence="1.0" polarity="*-1*" uncertainty="0"

discoveryTechnique="1" confidence="1.0" polarity="*-1*" uncertainty="0"
conditional="false" generic="false" subject="patient" historyOf="0"/>

"*- *Unspecified pervasive developmental disorder, current or active
state" results are the same.
    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention
_indexed="1" _id="172" _ref_sofa="1" begin="39" end="47" id="3"
_ref_ontologyConceptArr="169" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

_ref_ontologyConceptArr="248" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

_ref_ontologyConceptArr="331" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention

Oddly, "Unspecified pervasive developmental disorder, current or active
state -" results in one negative polarity.

    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention
_indexed="1" _id="212" _ref_sofa="1" begin="0" end="44" id="0"
_ref_ontologyConceptArr="205" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

_ref_ontologyConceptArr="261" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"

    <org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textsem.DiseaseDisorderMention

_ref_ontologyConceptArr="384" typeID="2" segmentID="SIMPLE_SEGMENT"
discoveryTechnique="1" confidence="1.0" polarity="1" uncertainty="0"
conditional="true" generic="false" subject="patient" historyOf="0"/>

I hope this helps.

        <div>    I have a piece of free text that includes a diagnosis

        <div>" - Unspecified pervasive developmental disorder, current

        <div>     For some reason cTAKES seems to think the polarity of
