Early Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. It is a spectrum disorder, which means that the severity of symptoms and challenges can vary greatly among individuals with ASD.Research has shown that there is no single cause of ASD, but rather a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While there is no known cure for ASD, early intervention and treatment can help individuals with ASD lead fulfilling and productive lives.Individuals with ASD may face challenges in social interaction, communication, and behavior, but they also have unique strengths and abilities. It is important to recognize and appreciate these strengths, and to work to create a more inclusive and supportive society for individuals with ASD.Overall, ASD is a complex and varied disorder that requires individualized support and understanding. With the right resources and support, individuals with ASD can thrive and make valuable contributions to their communities. The integration of multimodal learning and decision fusion significantly improved overall system robustness and reduced false positive rates. The proposed framework demonstrates its effectiveness in detecting sophisticated multimedia forgeries and can be effectively applied in digital forensics, cybersecurity, social media verification, and online content authentication systems.
