Abstract: Disclosed is an AI-based multimodal system (100) and method for early screening of Autism Spectrum Disorder in children. A data-capture unit (102) and gamified stimulus-presentation module (104) elicit standardized behavioural responses while capturing synchronized video and audio. An edge pre-processing and synchronization layer (114) time-aligns the streams, which are analysed by a facial-expression/gesture module (106), gaze-estimation module (108), speech/vocal- prosody module (110) and motor-movement module (112). A multimodal fusion neural network engine (116) cross-modally fuses the resulting embeddings, while an explainable-AI attribution layer (118) generates indicator-level contribution scores. A risk-scoring and report-generation module (120) outputs an interpretable screening report via a secure clinician/caregiver dashboard (128) with longitudinal tracking (130). The synchronized fusion of heterogeneous, consumer-hardware- captured behavioural signals yields improved sensitivity and clinician-interpretable, telehealth-deployable screening over single-modality prior art.
