Digital Horizons: Enhancing Autism Support with Augmented Reality

Despite progress in communication and social skills interventions, gaps remain in understanding and addressing attention-related issues and emotion recognition. The review underscores the need for more rigorous study designs and objective evaluation methods to ascertain the efficacy of AR interventions for individuals with ASD. Looking ahead, collaborative efforts between researchers, developers, practitioners, and individuals with ASD are crucial for advancing innovation, addressing limitations, and ensuring the meaningful integration of AR technology into interventions aimed at enhancing the quality of life for individuals on the autism spectrum. Further exploration and utilization of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and affective computing are warranted to develop solutions that effectively address real-world challenges faced by individuals with autism.
