| Abstract | ||||
| This review examines research on the status of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) research in the Arab World. While exploring the literature, 172 publications dating from 2014 to 2022 were identified. On average, there were 5.1 articles published per year for each country (Average is based in the 22 countries). In terms of published ASD studies, the most prolific countries were Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. The ASD studies explored areas related to biology, potential risk factors, and diagnosis of autism-related issues. A third of these papers featured acknowledgments for any financial support they received, while others were printed in Journals with Impact Factors (JIF) of 5.1. These results indicate that ASD research in Arab countries has grown exponentially and is still developing in the region. The results and implications are presented, and future research efforts are proposed. | ||||
