Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents varied challenges across assessment, intervention, and behavioural monitoring. With recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), introduced tools have emerged that support clinicians, educators, and families in understanding and managing ASD more effectively. Significant innovations include explainable AI, mobile applications, computer vision, and wearable devices, which establish promising potential to increase accuracy, accessibility, and consistency of care. This review produces findings from recent literature to examine how AI contributes to the ASD care process. It highlights the benefits of AI while noting ethical and practical considerations. Also addresses challenges in data security, privacy, and ethical AI deployment within ASD care settings.
