| Abstract: | This is a scoping review driven by the broad research question: What are Latinx caregivers' specific facilitators and challenges, if any, in getting a timely diagnosis/identification for their child with autism? Our search resulted in 128 articles across various disciplines. A total of 43 articles were included in the final article set. Employing an inductive process, the experiences of Latinx caregiver(s) in obtaining a diagnosis/identification were coded and categorized. From that process, three broad themes were identified: (1) Diagnosis/identification barriers and facilitators (2) System changes and (3) Cultural adaptations and intersectionality. These themes represent the myriad of considerations that have been purported in the existing body of literature to frame an understanding of the experiences that Latinx/Hispanic caregivers encounter as they seek to obtain an autism diagnosis/identification for their child. |
