Little is known about services for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in India. We systematically reviewed the literature to identify studies of ASD interventions in India. Among the 13 articles meeting review criteria, nearly all described efforts to culturally adapt interventions and/or outcome measures for Indian participants. Generally small and urban study samples limited generalizability of findings. Few studies targeted young children, and none focused on older adolescents and/or adults. All studies described improvements in target child and/or caregiver outcomes. However, the majority used qualitative, single-subject, or one-group designs, and several did not adequately describe their research designs or analytic methods. More research is needed to test and scale up culturally relevant ASD interventions for Indian populations.
