Description

BACKGROUND The reported prevalence of ASDs in the United States as well as in other developed countries has increased dramatically in the last few years. This increase is likely the outcome of several factors: greater awareness of ASDs on the part of both parents and professionals, leading to earlier identification; changes in definitions related to ASDs (the wider use of the diagnostic category of Asperger's syndrome, for example); and perhaps an increase in environmental triggers of ASDs in genetically susceptible infants. At present, the best data on the prevalence of ASDs point to a rate of in 1 per 110 children, and a substantially higher rate in males.
