This research aims to advance the field of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment by proposing a machine learning-based approach tailored for school and community settings. Leveraging a diverse dataset encompassing behavioral, physiological, and neuroimaging data, we apply advanced machine learning algorithms to develop predictive models for early ASD detection. Our study integrates expert interviews to validate the clinical utility of these models and explores ethical considerations surrounding data privacy and bias. Preliminary results show promising accuracy in ASD identification. This research contributes to a more accessible and objective ASD assessment, with implications for early intervention and inclusive support, particularly in educational and community contexts.
