A total of 473 publications related to epilepsy and autism were retrieved.
The number of publications on epilepsy and autism has generally increased over time, with some fluctuations.
The USA is the leading country with 202 publications, while the University of California-Los Angeles is the top institution with 15 papers.
Richard E. Frye is identified as the most published author in this research area, contributing 9 papers.
Collaboration between institutions, countries, and authors appears to be limited.
Key research topics include and the genetic mechanisms underlying epilepsy and autism.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze research on epilepsy in autism and autism in epilepsy using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to identify research hotspots and future directions.
METHODS: We searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) for relevant studies about epilepsy in autism and autism in epilepsy published from inception to 31 May 2022. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to analyze the authors, institutions, countries, publishing journals, reference co-citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, keyword clustering, keywords with citation bursts, and other aspects to construct a knowledge atlas.
RESULTS: A total of 473 publications related to epilepsy/autism were retrieved. The number of publications about epilepsy/ASD has generally increased over time, with some fluctuations. The USA (202 papers) and University of California-Los Angeles (15 papers) were the leading country and institution, respectively, in this field. Frye, Richard E. was the most published author (9 papers). Notably, collaboration between institutions, countries, and authors does not appear to be active. Hot topics and research frontiers include and exploring the mechanism of epilepsy/ASD from a genetics perspective.
CONCLUSION: This analysis identified the most influential publications, authors, journals, institutions, and countries in the field of epilepsy/ASD research. Using co-occurrence and evolution analyses, the status of the field was identified and future trends were predicted.
