Abstract
Currently, there is no cure for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disease. ASD causes problems in social communication and interaction, accompanied by repeating behaviors. Early and effective treatments may lessen the problems over time. Thus, it is essential to screen this problem from an early age. Proposed methods in literature employed physiological and behavioral signals. We propose in this paper the use of speech signal and artificial intelligence to determine ASD in children. Experiments prove that this is a positive way for early discrimination of children with/without ASD.
