The application considers various factors, including children's gender, parental income range, and responses to the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) questionnaire, to provide risk categorization and recommend nearby support facilities. By offering an online platform, the project addresses the increasing prevalence of ASD and helps parents seek professional support for their children. It also assists parents in preparing their ASD-affected children for primary school by suggesting appropriate assistance options like Program Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK), Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI), and Program Pendidikan Inklusif (PPI).

The results show the algorithm's impressive performance with an 86% precision in predicting ASD traits. In conclusion, this web-based application provides a reliable and accessible tool for early ASD detection, empowering parents to assess their children's risk and seek appropriate support.
