In current societies, the use of technology has revealed a wide range of applications due to the diverse needs that exist. One of the technologies that is most notable for its versatility is augmented reality. Being the ASD one of the specific educational needs where this type of technology has application possibilities. For this reason, the objective of the research is to review the scientific production in Web of Science (WOS) and SCOPUS of 1990-2020 on the application of augmented reality in people with ASD based on bibliometric indicators. The final sample was 77 documents. The results show that 2018 and 2019 are the most productive years in both databases. Furthermore, USA and Taiwan have the most productive centres. The results would be used by therapists to know what parameters to take into account for the application of augmented reality in people with ASD. For example the research centres to contact, the most important countries. As future lines of work, the possibility of carrying out a qualitative study of the contents of the documents is considered, which will allow for the detailed analysis of the knowledge areas worked on as well as the applications used.
