Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents significant challenges in social communication and interaction, critically impacting the lives of children with ASD. Traditional interventions, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Social Skills Training (SST), have been widely used to address social skill deficits in these children. While these methods are effective, they often require substantial resources, long-term engagement, and specialized expertise, which limit their accessibility and adaptability to diverse social contexts. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (Al), particularly Transformer-based models, offer a novel opportunity to enhance and personalize social skills training.
