Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children Aged 8 Years — Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, 11 Sites, United States, 2016
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children aged 8 years in the US was 18.5 per 1,000 in 2016, higher than previous estimates. While no overall difference in prevalence was found between Black and White children, disparities persist in early evaluation and diagnosis for Black children, and Hispanic children continue to be identified less frequently.
