Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 108 (October 2023) . - p.102247 Titre : Autism spectrum disorder: Where does the Gulf Region stand? An overview of ASD in the Arab Gulf Region: The UAE as a regional model Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Omniah ALQAHTANI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102247 Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  ASD  Preschool  Teachers  Assessment  Gulf  GCC Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Early identification of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) significantly impacts their academic performance and future life as it provides them with the opportunity to receive the required early intervention. The early signs of ASD usually become visible in the first two years of life whereas many ASD children do not get officially diagnosed until 40 months. Preschool teachers spend considerable time with students at the age of 3-5 years, which allows them to be valuable informants to indicate the early ASD symptoms observed in school settings. However, there is a lack of tools that preschool teachers can use to assess children with possible early signs of ASD. Most ASD assessment tools are created in the Western part of the world, so other countries have to culturally adapt and translate them to use them. In the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC) specifically, there is a lack of research discussing the ASD diagnosis age and diagnostic practices. This literature mainstream aims to (1) discuss the ASD situation, including ASD prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment practices in the GCC countries, (2) examines the barriers to having ASD early diagnosis, the ASD assessment tools used in the GCC region, and the need to develop a checklist that meets the GCC region?s unique social and cultural characteristics to assess ASD symptoms in children at an early age, (3) provides a summary of 31 papers that discussed ASD situations in the GCC region and some parts of the GCC region since 2010. There is a need for a valid and reliable assessment tools designed for the GCC region. Further researches is needed to cover the ASD situation in the GCC countries.
