Discussion

Scoping review highlights underrepresentation of females and racial minority groups in autism studies, suggesting bias in research practices.

Less than 10% of studies on pragmatic language in autism reported race and ethnicity data, indicating a serious gap.
Around 80% of reviewed studies included reports on sex while 70% documented language spoken, showing some level of engagement.
Empirical analysis evaluated over 1,800 studies, resulting in 308 that met inclusion criteria for this critical review.
Findings emphasize the need for inclusive research to improve autism diagnosis and interventions among diverse populations.

Martin et al. (2025) studied this question.
