Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a disorder of the nervous system from birth and during infancy. This disorder affects children's development, making it difficult for nerve function to develop, and causes the child concerned to have difficulty in fostering social relationships. Early detection of children with ASD is needed so that treatment is fast and on target. Currently, facilities and research on early diagnosis of ASD patients through EEG signals are still very few, requiring much cost and more effort to analyze EEG signals in examinations related to ASD detection cases. This study proposes a mobile phone application that can distinguish people living with ASD and normal data signals based on asynchronous EEG brain signals. This research also produces a preprocessing algorithm and BCI2000 EEG data signal so that it can be automated using Python. This research also produces an output model, namely the Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Network, which is deployed using Python-Flask so that the diagnosis of EEG signals with ASD and normal patients can be used on various platforms through restAPI. This research is also expected to help the community and support the diagnosis of ASD sufferers so that they can be handled appropriately. Data for ASD sufferers and normal data were correctly classified into the appropriate class. Handling this disease requires close and integrated cooperation, so this ASD classification will be very helpful for patients and can make a diagnosis in a faster time, enabling patients to receive targeted treatment and therapy.
