International collaboration is essential, especially for Latin American countries, whose participation is increasing. Key topics cover human-computer interaction, human aspects, diseases, adolescence, education and social interactions. Considering the results obtained, the importance of collaboration between different actors and collaborative learning in the education of children with ASD is highlighted, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach, which together with technological integration can improve social skills and quality of life of these children.

摘要

This bibliometric study examines collaboration, defined as the capacity for coordination and joint work between different actors and stakeholders such as professionals, caregivers, family and the children themselves, in the specific context of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, using statistical methods and analysis of networks to discern trends, gaps and emerging themes in this topic. 781 articles published between 1975 and 2023, obtained from Scopus, were analyzed. The results emphasize a variety of sources, showcasing the leadership of medical and computer science journals that work on these aspects. On the other hand, the United States and the United Kingdom stand out in publications, while Latin American countries such as Brazil and Chile emerge as prominent collaborators internationally. International collaboration is essential, especially for Latin American countries, whose participation is increasing. Key topics cover human-computer interaction, human aspects, diseases, adolescence, education and social interactions. Considering the results obtained, the importance of collaboration between different actors and collaborative learning in the education of children with ASD is highlighted, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach, which together with technological integration can improve social skills and quality of life of these children. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the ASD collaboration research domain, identifying areas for future research and international collaborations.
