Résumé

Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la recherche informatique sur l'autisme a connu une croissance considérable, mettant en évidence son potentiel pour améliorer l'expérience des personnes autistes. Notre recherche offre une compréhension détaillée du paysage de la recherche informatique sur l'autisme dans l'ACM Digital Library en réalisant une revue de la littérature (N=533). Notre analyse révèle que la recherche informatique sur l'autisme manque d'inclusivité dans plusieurs dimensions démographiques importantes, notamment l'identité de genre, l'âge et la culture. La technologie développée est largement axée sur le diagnostic (p. ex., la détection de l'autisme) et sur la prise en compte des besoins des enfants autistes (p. ex., l'amélioration de la communication sociale), tout en ignorant les difficultés rencontrées par les personnes autistes âgées et les adultes autistes (p. ex., la vie autonome et l'emploi). De plus, la recherche informatique sur l'autisme dans l'ACM Digital Library est concentrée en Amérique du Nord et en Europe, avec une représentation inexistante ou faible de l'Afrique, de l'Amérique du Sud et de l'Océanie. Nous identifions des domaines qui méritent une attention particulière et fournissons des lignes directrices concrètes pour renforcer l'inclusivité et la généralisabilité de la recherche informatique sur l'autisme.

In the last two decades, autism research in computing has experienced tremendous growth, highlighting the potential to improve the experience of autistic individuals. Our research offers a detailed understanding of the landscape of autism computing research in the ACM Digital Library by conducting a literature review (N=533). Our analysis reveals that autism computing research lacks inclusiveness in several important demographic dimensions, including gender identity, age, and culture. The developed technology is largely focused on diagnosis (e.g., autism detection) and addressing the needs of autistic children (e.g., improving social communication) while ignoring the challenges of autistic elderly and adults (e.g., independent living and employment). Also, autism computing research in the ACM Digital Library is concentrated in North America and Europe, with no or little representation from Africa, South America, and Oceania. We identify areas that deserve attention and provide actionable guidelines to enhance the inclusiveness and generalizability of autism research in computing.

Vue d’ensemble de la bibliographie citée

Ces indicateurs décrivent la bibliographie citée par cette publication. Un nom d’auteurice est compté chaque fois qu’il apparaît dans une référence citée : une même personne peut donc être comptée plusieurs fois. Les noms qui ne sont pas encore associés à un·e auteurice déjà présent·e dans AutiHub sont traités comme inconnus, pas comme non autistes. Dernier calcul : 28/10/2026 01:01.
