N2 - The global prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasing, leading to long-term challenges for both individuals with ASD and their parents. To address these issues, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has emerged as a promising approach. This scoping review aimed to examine the existing literature on the application of ACT in the field of ASD. A systematic search of databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus yielded 18 articles that met the inclusion criteria. In conclusion, ACT holds promise as a therapeutic intervention for individuals with ASD and their parents. Nonetheless, further research is necessary to explore its effectiveness and determine the most suitable strategies for adapting the intervention to meet the unique needs of this population.
