Abstract

Early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is essential for timely intervention. This study presents a hybrid artificial intelligence framework for non-invasive ASD pre-screening using children’s coloring, drawing, and handwriting activities. The proposed framework combines deep convolutional neural networks (VGG16, ResNet50, and EfficientNetB0) as feature extractors with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to distinguish four diagnostic categories: non-ASD, mild ASD, moderate ASD, and severe ASD. Experimental results demonstrate task-specific performance across architectures. ResNet50–SVM achieved perfect classification for coloring tasks, with 100% accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. VGG16–SVM performed best for drawing, achieving 88% accuracy and recall, 89% precision, and an F1-score of 87%. EfficientNetB0–SVM produced the highest handwriting performance, achieving 96% across all evaluation metrics. These findings demonstrate the potential of computer vision-based analysis of children’s expressive activities as an effective, non-invasive ASD pre-screening tool. Future work will focus on expanding dataset diversity and integrating multimodal behavioral cues to improve model generalization and clinical applicability.
