The title is clare but in the abstract you have to will explaine better the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder for example " is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior". Also the executive function: what are? why are so very important? The references should be updated.

Is clear what is already known about this topic and the research question is clearly outlined . The authors describe with accuracy the relationship between Autism Spectrum Disorder and working memory.

the process of subject selection is clear and the variables are defined and measured appropriately. the study methods is valid and reliable and are there enough detail in order to replicate the study.

the data is presented in an appropriate way. the authors in this meta analysis confirmed spatial working memory deficit in autism spectrum disorder, however few papers were considered to arrive at a valid conclusion. Therefore there are strong limitations which fortunately can be improved.
