摘要：

This review presents an examination of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research in the Arab world. A total of 142 publications were identified, spanning a period from 1992 to January 2014. The average number of country-specific publications per year is 5.7 articles. Most publications were produced by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Oman over the last few years-these addressed research areas related biology, risk factors, and diagnosis. Over a third of the publications included funding acknowledgments while several were published in journals with an impact factor >= 5.0. These findings suggest that ASD in the Arab world is a young but rapidly growing field. The status of the field is presented, and implications for the future are provided.
