Parents interventions are relevant to address autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objective
of this study is to analyze the importance and evolution of ASD and its relationship with the parents
(ASD-PAR) in the publications indexed in Web of Science. For this, a bibliometric methodology
has been used, based on a scientific mapping of the reported documents. We have worked with an
analysis unit of 1381 documents. The results show that the beginnings of scientific production date
back to 1971. There are two clearly differentiated moments in scientific production. A first moment
(1971–2004), where the production volume is low. A second moment (2005–2019), where the volume
of production increases considerably. Therefore, it can be said that the subject began to be relevant
for the scientific community from 2005 to the present. The keyword match rate between set periods
marks a high level of match between periods. It is concluded that the main focus of the research on
ASD-PAR is on the stress that is generated in families with children with ASD, in addition to the
family problems that the fact that these children also have behavior problems can cause.
