Abstract

This study presents a novel deep learning approach for early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using facial image analysis. Leveraging the EfficientNet-B3 model, the research addresses limitations in traditional diagnostic methods by autonomously extracting discriminative facial features associated with ASD. A balanced dataset of 2,940 facial images (1,470 autistic and 1,470 non-autistic children) from Kaggle was pre-processed to 200x200 pixels and evaluated under three dataset-splitting scenarios (80:10:10, 70:15:15, and 60:20:20) to assess generalisability. The model, trained with the Adam optimiser over 10 epochs, achieved optimal performance in the 80:10:10 scenario, with 84.67% precision, 84.35% recall, and 84.32% F1 score. Results demonstrate high confidence (>90% probability) in distinguishing autistic from non-autistic individuals on unseen data. The study underscores the potential of integrating deep learning into clinical decision-support systems for ASD detection, offering a robust, scalable, and efficient solution to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce reliance on manual methods.
