Annals of Epidemiology , 10/13/09
Nicholas JS et al. – Findings should provide useful information for the planning of health/education policies and early intervention strategies for ASD.
Methods- South Carolina (SC) has been a participant in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's active, population–based, multiple–site ASD surveillance network for 8–year–olds since 2000.
- The 8–year–old methodology, designed to identify children both with and without prior diagnosis, was applied in SC with modification to include information sources for younger children.
- The ASD prevalence among 4–year–olds in 2006 was 8.0 per 1000, or 1 in 125.
- In comparison, ASD prevalence among 8–year–olds in the same geographic area was 7.6 in 2000 and 7.0 in 2002.
- Developmental concerns were documented at earlier ages across time, and while most cases received services, only 20% to 29% received services specific to ASD.
