Abstract

The neurological defect known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) usually manifests in early childhood. It is typified by altered social communication, along with repetitive activities. It should be detected as soon as possible, since with early care, the affected person’s long-term results can be greatly improved. With an emphasis on early behavioral indicators that may be noticeable during the first year of life, such as reduced eye contact and delayed social communication, the paper explores the prospect of early autism detection. It explores how well the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers Revised/Follow (M-CHAT-R/F) works and how new technologies like eye-tracking and neuroimaging may provide more accurate early detection techniques and diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the role of both genetic and environmental factors in the development of ASD is explored, emphasizing how genetic screening may help identify at-risk groups early. The significance of early intervention programs, which have been demonstrated to improve developmental trajectories when initiated before the age of three, is finally discussed in this study. Better access to screening and care will be made possible by ongoing research into predictive models and technology developments, which should improve early detection techniques.
