Background Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent challenges in social communication and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Emotion recognition deficits are core feature of ASD, impairing functioning quality life. This meta-analysis evaluates emotion accuracy response time individuals with autism compared to neurotypical those other disorders. Methods systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web Science identified 13 studies published between 2006 2024. Data on times were synthesized using standardized mean differences random-effects models. Heterogeneity assessed the I 2 statistic, sensitivity analyses performed ensure robustness. Results Individuals ASD exhibited significantly lower overall TD (SMD = −1.29, 95% CI: −2.20 −0.39, p < 0.01) NDDs −0.89, −1.23 −0.55, 0.02). Response prolonged 0.50, 0.36–0.63, but not when NDDs. Emotion-specific did consistently reveal significant emotions (fear, anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise), substantial heterogeneity observed ( > 50%). Conclusions highlights impairments processing speed among disorder, particularly individuals. These findings underscore importance developing targeted interventions address these deficits, which foundational improving cognition life disorder. Future research should prioritize methodologies explore cultural contextual factors influencing abilities.
