abstract = {The advancement of ICT technology especially in detecting rare diseases
has becomingly common in today's technology. One of the issues that
arise is how this technology could help human to identify Autism
characters? Little research has being made to educate society how to
recognize this symptom and most of the past research was concentrated
only for autistic child and none of the outcomes are dedicated for the
society to understand. This study investigates the levels of autism
symptoms amongst target respondents in Universiti Sains Malaysia by
using Autism Spectrum Quotient (ASQ). This instruments is a
questionnaire published in 2001 by Simon Baron-Cohen and it consists of

intelligence have symptoms of autism or one of the other autism spectrum
conditions. A quantitative survey method through the distribution of
questionnaire and online survey form has being applied. The finding
shows that significance levels of autism symptoms amongst respondents
are rising and become silently increased. The findings from this study

identifying Autistic behavioral symptoms through engaging multimedia
