Global Prevalence of Autism and Other Pervasive Developmental Disorders

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of epidemiological surveys of autistic disorder and pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) worldwide was provided, where the authors considered the possible impact of geographic, cultural/ethnic/ethnic, and socioeconomic factors on prevalence estimates and on clinical presentation of PDD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autism spectrum disorder.

TL;DR: Clinicians can make a difference by providing timely and individualised help to families navigating referrals and access to community support systems, by providing accurate information despite often unfiltered media input, and by anticipating transitions such as family changes and school entry and leaving.

TL;DR: Se sequencing of 5,205 samples from families with ASD, accompanied by clinical information, creating a database accessible on a cloud platform and through a controlled-access internet portal that identified 18 new candidate ASD-risk genes and found that participants bearing mutations in susceptibility genes had significantly lower adaptive ability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global prevalence of autism: A systematic review update

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a systematic review of the prevalence of autism worldwide and found that 99 estimates from 71 studies were published indicating a global autism prevalence that ranges within and across regions, with a median prevalence of 100/10000 (range: 1.09/10,000 to 436.2%).
Journal ArticleDOI

Infant Neural Sensitivity to Dynamic Eye Gaze Is Associated with Later Emerging Autism

TL;DR: Longitudinal analyses showed that characteristics of ERP components evoked in response to dynamic eye gaze shifts during infancy were associated with autism diagnosed at 36 months, which elucidate the mechanisms driving the development of the social brain in infancy.
