This study aims to analyze the use of project-based learning with augmented reality (AR) on the communication skills of autistic children through systematic literature review and theoretical bibliometric analysis of research on autistic children's communication skills sourced from Scopus from 2013 to 2022. The research method is a systematic literature review with analysis theory and bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer and RStudio applications. This research was conducted in several stages, namely determining i) research questions; ii) inclusion and exclusion criteria; iii) quality assessment; iv) data collection; and v) bibliometric analysis. The results of this study note that research on the communication skills of autistic children is still a research trend that is of great interest to researchers with an increase in research occurring from 2015 to 2022. Countries from the Americas and Asia have contributed the most to research on the communication skills of autistic children. The subject areas of psychology and social science are the subject areas with the most contributions, namely 22% each of the 165 articles found. There is a relationship between the term project (P), communication skills (CS), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This relationship is shown by the link strength P→CS is 2 and the link strength CS→ASD is 4. The characteristic requirements for autistic children for project-based learning with AR are middle class autistic children. The characteristics possessed by project-based learning can help in training the level of communication skills of autistic children and it would be better if assisted with the use of AR.
