Abstract: Nowadays Autism children find it difficult to interact socially with people emotions and make themselves isolated. This paper proposes Emotion detection for Autism spectrum disorder children (ASD). It is self-possessed of python libraries Open CV, Haar-cascade method and Age and gender prediction. Conversely, most existing methods rely on the detection of facial expressions of people in social media platforms such as snapchat use facial recognition technology and also detecting facial emotions from their Facial expressions in image. And for a better involvement of the children’s social behaviour, here a face is captured in real time and age, gender and emotions are predicted by Facial expression recognition (FER). This proposed system helps to improve the Autism children behaviour as they often observe the facial expressions of humans and try to imitate their emotions which make a huge difference in their behaviour.
