This paper presents ICA analysis application for detection of autism disorder. In the first step, resources of EEG signals were extracted by ICA and then time domain and frequency domain processing were implemented. EEG signals of ten children with autism and ten healthy children aged 6 to 11 years have been obtained. The results have been compared statistically by T-test. Lower correlation levels between resources of the left hemisphere of the brain especially C3 channel region in autistic children compared with healthy subjects have been observed. Also the average energy of theta frequency band in C3 and F3 channels for children with autism were lower than that in healthy people and this criterion was higher in gamma frequency band.
