AI-Integrated Learning and Support Platform for Individuals with Autism

This paper presents an AI-driven assistive system designed to support autistic individuals by leveraging multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for communication enhancement, emotional well-being, and social interaction. The system comprises four core modules: Speak and Learn, See and Learn, Collaborations, and ASD Community, each integrating advanced AI methodologies. The Speak and Learn module utilizes speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies, reinforced by a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model, to facilitate real-time, adaptive communication. A custom chatbot trained on predefined conversational patterns enhances user engagement and interaction with 95% Accuracy. The See and Learn module employs a TensorFlow Lite (TFLite)-based deep learning model for real-time emotion detection, classifying emotions into angry, sad, and happy categories. Based on the detected emotional state, the system dynamically suggests curated videos and GIFs to promote emotional regulation and engagement with 95% accuracy. The Collaborations module features a secure, low-latency real-time messaging system, enabling direct communication between autistic individuals and psychologists for tailored professional support. Lastly, the ASD Community module serves as an interactive, AI-powered social engagement platform where users can share experiences, provide feedback, and connect with peers. The system is optimized for low-latency performance using resource-efficient AI models, making it compatible with mobile and embedded platforms. By integrating NLP-driven conversational agents, deep learning-based emotion recognition, and secure communication channels, this application creates a comprehensive, intelligent ecosystem tailored to the needs of autistic users. Experimental results demonstrate the system's efficiency, accuracy, and real-time performance, ensuring seamless user experiences across diverse deployment environments.
