Why is it important?
Background information is provided about the KSA and its role in the region as a major country to lead the advancement of ASD services, regulations, awareness, and research. ASD in KSA is gaining more attention and recognition at all levels, which will ultimately lead to larger opportunities to provide a high-quality service at the levels of diagnosis and intervention.
