Several variables, for instance, inheritance and surroundings, influence the growth of neurodevelopmental disorders, e.g., autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during the first 36 months of life. ADHD and ASD diagnosis mainly rely heavily on traditional clinical assessments from the last few decades. These traditional methods are based on massive data collection from multiple respondents’ responses and the extent of various behavioral descriptors, which are then recognized by the researcher while forming a diagnostic criterion. However, opting for traditional diagnostic methods, there is a high possibility of being misdiagnosed, which may lead to the administration of unnecessary long‐term pharmaceutical treatment. That may lead to reduction in functioning and an increase in the risk of developing additional social and clinical issues. Moreover, such diagnostic procedures are also time‐consuming and costly. In this sense, rapid and advanced criteria are required to be accurate and cost‐effective. Consequently, this study emphasizes the application of machine learning (ML) tools and deep learning (DL) techniques such as convolutional neural network (CNN) and Deep Learning APIs (Application Programming Interface), for the early diagnosis and treatment of ADHD and ASD symptoms. From this investigation, it can be concluded that diagnostic techniques based on ML reduce the intervention time and increase the accuracy with simultaneous understanding of the techniques and algorithms applied to different types of Image data. Numerous studies have been done on ASD and ADHD separately, but our investigation also focuses on cooccurrences of these disorders in one individual.
