| Sumario: | The aim of the present study was to describe the scientifc production on sexuality and afectivity of autistic people. The inclusion criteria were articles published in all languages from the year 2000 to 2023, excluding reviews, proceedings, and other works not considered original. The search was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection and RStudio was utilized to analyze the records, with the “Bibliometrix 4.1.0” package and the VOSviewer software. A total of 314 articles were included, from the USA, Australia, and parts of Europe. The production peak was found in the year 2020, the most cited articles referred to the children’s population, and the most important journals were specialized on the subject. As for the thematic content, 29 keywords emerged that were grouped into three clusters. In the frst group, children associated with vulnerability and victimization were underlined, in which multifocal interventions were needed to prevent risk; in the second, we found adolescents and the need for sex education that is adapted and comprehensive; and lastly, adults who must be able to perform an adequate transition that eases the adaptation of neurodivergent individuals |
