Abhijeet Lokhande, Harshal Menge, Bhagyesh Sawant

Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects communication and behavior in children and is being managed through early diagnosis. ASDTech is an AI-based system developed to detect autism using facial images. It combines a ResNet50-based deep learning model with a random forest classifier for accurate classification. The system uses real-time image augmentation, feature extraction, and performance evaluation to ensure reliability. Designed to be portable and scalable, ASDTech offers a fast, accessible, and cost-effective solution for early ASD screening.
