OBJECTIVE
To explore the characteristics of Arabic websites with information on autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
METHODS
The word autism in Arabic was entered into 2 popular search engines in September 2013 to locate the top 80 websites featuring the term. Websites were sorted using 10 characteristics, previously used to evaluate the characteristics of English websites with information on ASD.
RESULTS
Most websites were registered using a .com top-level domain (69%), were an individual`s site, forum, or blog (44%), and were updated after September 2012 (60%); they contained images or texts that seemed to persuade viewers to purchase products (43%); they provided information with the name of author(s) (64%); they described the basic characteristics of ASD; and they promoted various types of treatments, most of which lack empirical support (63%). However, few websites contained information with references to peer review resources (3%) or a warning statement that such information should not replace the opinion of a qualified professional (8%).
CONCLUSION
Internet users may not find Arabic websites to be reliable sources to obtain information on ASD. Given the increased use of the internet, creation of websites that contain trusted information on ASD could potentially aid parents in accessing available services, help them learn about empirically validated interventions, and enable them to advocate for their children`s rights.
目的
探讨提供自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）信息的阿拉伯语网站的特点。
方法
2013年9月，在两个流行的搜索引擎中输入阿拉伯语的“自闭症”一词，以找出包含该词的排名前80的网站。使用先前用于评估提供ASD信息的英语网站特点的10个特征对网站进行分类。
结果
大多数网站使用.com顶级域名注册（69%），是个人网站、论坛或博客（44%），且在2012年9月之后更新（60%）；它们包含似乎劝说浏览者购买产品的图像或文本（43%）；它们提供了作者姓名的信息（64%）；它们描述了ASD的基本特征；并且它们推广了各种类型的治疗方法，其中大多数缺乏实证支持（63%）。然而，很少有网站包含引用同行评审资源的信息（3%）或关于此类信息不应取代合格专业人员意见的警告声明（8%）。
结论
互联网用户可能会发现阿拉伯语网站并非获取ASD信息的可靠来源。鉴于互联网使用的增加，创建包含关于ASD的可信信息的网站可能有助于家长获得可用服务，帮助他们了解经过实证验证的干预措施，并使他们能够为孩子的权利进行倡导。
