We conducted a scoping review of reviews to determine key barriers and innovative strategies which can contribute to attaining universal health coverage (UHC), from early detection to effective interventions for autism in low- and middle-income countries (LAMIC).A systematic literature search of review articles was conducted. Reviews relevant to the study research question were included if they incorporated papers from LAMIC and focused on children (Authors & Co-authors:  Divan Bhavnani Leadbitter Ellis Dasgupta Abubakar Elsabbagh Hamdani Servili Patel Green
