Abstract:
This systematic review evaluates the psychometric performance of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnostic tools adapted for diverse cultural and linguistic contexts. It aims to identify key strengths, gaps, and challenges in adapting these tools for non-English-speaking populations and minoritized groups within English-speaking countries. A comprehensive search of seven databases was conducted following PRISMA guidelines to identify studies reporting psychometric properties of adapted ASD tools. Inclusion criteria focused on tools used in non-English-speaking populations or linguistic minorities in English-speaking countries. Data from 53 studies involving 36,573 participants were analyzed. A meta-analysis evaluated reliability, and a narrative synthesis examined other psychometric properties such as validity and reliability. Adapted tools demonstrated strong reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.850. However, cross-cultural and content validity were inconsistently reported, limiting their comprehensive evaluation and cultural applicability. The majority of adapted tools originated from English-speaking countries, highlighting the Western-centric foundation of ASD diagnostics. Adaptations often emphasized translation over deeper cultural contextualization. Research on minority populations in English-speaking nations was notably sparse, further underscoring systemic inequities in ASD diagnostics. While adapted ASD tools exhibit high reliability, critical gaps in cross-cultural and content validity emphasize the need for improved adaptation processes. Researchers may benefit from complementing the adaptation of Western tools with the development of culturally specific screening tools, ensuring they meet systematic psychometric standards. This shift is essential for enhancing diagnostic equity and accuracy across diverse populations. Integrating cultural insights and addressing systemic biases in ASD diagnostic tool development are imperative for ensuring equitable access to timely and accurate diagnoses. Future research should prioritize culturally informed tool creation, rigorous psychometric evaluation, and strategies to reduce diagnostic inequities in underserved populations.
