      abstract = {This review paper critically explores the convergence of blockchain technology, autism-focused content streaming, and modern software architectures to propose a secure, inclusive, and scalable monetization model for digital platforms. As streaming services increasingly cater to neurodiverse audiences, particularly individuals on the autism spectrum, there is a growing need for platforms that ensure content accessibility, personalized user experiences, and ethical monetization strategies. Blockchain-based monetization frameworks, such as smart contracts and token economies, offer transparent, decentralized alternatives to traditional advertising and subscription models?ensuring content creators are fairly compensated while preserving user privacy. The paper evaluates existing blockchain-enabled streaming platforms and identifies their applicability to autism-related educational, therapeutic, and entertainment content. Furthermore, it examines the role of cybersecurity in safeguarding sensitive user data, especially in platforms serving vulnerable populations. Emphasis is placed on integrating scalable microservice architectures to support real-time personalization, robust content delivery, and modular security features without compromising system performance. By synthesizing insights from blockchain ecosystems, microservice-based platform engineering, and autism-friendly design principles, this review highlights critical design considerations and technical enablers for developing future-ready streaming platforms. The study also discusses challenges related to regulatory compliance, token governance, interoperability, and ethical data handling. Ultimately, this paper provides a roadmap for building secure, decentralized, and inclusive digital ecosystems that prioritize both user safety and creator empowerment in the autism content landscape.},
