This study aims to provide an overview of recent advancements in museum strategies and practices, as well as an assessment of how well they meet the requirements of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this context, the researchers conducted a quantitative survey using questionnaires in Attica's museums. According to the research's main findings, many museum employees lack formal knowledge or training related to ASD. Nevertheless, they are firmly in favor of such training. Attica museums lack programs or activities specifically designed for individuals with autism. Few museums in Attica have the resources and infrastructure needed to be deemed accessible to those with ASD; however, they emphasized that they are very affirmative about changes. The utmost obstacles to accessibility and inclusivity for people with ASD, according to the research, are inadequate planning, a lack of infrastructure and finance, and a lack of trained staff
