Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting approximately 1 in 100 children globally, with profound impacts across the lifespan. However. Within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, particularly Malaysia, systematic research on autism remains notably scarce and fragmented. This scoping review reveals critical gaps in autism research and services across ASEAN and Malaysia despite growing awareness. Prioritizing autism as a public health imperative requires commitment from researchers, policymakers, healthcare providers, educators, and communities. By committing resources to research, policy development, and service delivery, ASEAN countries can substantially improve outcomes for individuals with autism and their families.
