Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopment disease which is prevalent recently. This study addressed the possible factors that cause ASD, as well as the treatment for the disorders. However, with the implementation of current technology, this study aims to propose a mobile application as a solution that helps autism children for behavioral and social skills learning by using facial expression recognition, which can provide brief understanding of basic facial expression and emotion to children with ASD and slowly develop their social skills.
