The Experiences of Late-diagnosed Women with Autism Spectrum Conditions: An Investigation of the Female Autism Phenotype (2016, background): “…non-referred samples there are between two and three males for each female with ASC (e.g., Constantino et al. 2010; Kim et al. 2011; Zwaigenbaum et al. 2012); whereas in clinical samples ascertained from ASC services, the male-to-female ratio is usually four-to-one or higher (e.g., Fombonne 2009).”
The size and burden of mental disorders and other disorders of the brain in Europe 2010. (2011, background): “For pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), our searches identified a recent review article which analyzed 43 studies on the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders from birth to early adult life with most surveys including a school-aged sample and an overall age of 8.0 years (Fombonne, 2009).”
Global prevalence of autism: A systematic review update (2022, result): “In contrast, population-based surveys that rely on active case-finding procedures usually yield higher prevalence estimates than studies using administrative data (Fombonne, 2009).”
Global Prevalence of Autism and Other Pervasive Developmental Disorders (2012, background): “165Elsabbagh et al./Global epidemiology of autismINSAR including childhood disintegrative disorder and Asperger disorder (see details in the following) were excluded from the current review as these were very rare and have been reviewed elsewhere [Fombonne et al., 2011].”
“Putting on My Best Normal”: Social Camouflaging in Adults with Autism Spectrum Conditions (2017, background): “Amongst clinical samples, male to female gender ratios for ASC diagnosis are generally around 4:1 (Fombonne 2009), but when active case ascertainment is used within the general population, the ratio lowers to around 3:1 (Sun et al.”
ADHD prevalence estimates across three decades: an updated systematic review and meta-regression analysis. (2013, background): “awareness and access to medical services may explain the increasing rates over time.(10) However, the possibility that a true increase in the incidence of ASD and also in ADHD”
Fecal Microbiota and Metabolome of Children with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (2013, background): “Increasing evidences indicate that environmental factors, including diet and gastrointestinal agents (e.g., microbiota), may play an important role in the autism spectrum disorders (ASD) [61].”
Sex differences in autism spectrum disorders (2013, background): “7:1 [7], and a commonly referenced consensus ratio of ~4:1.”
Motor Coordination in Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Synthesis and Meta-Analysis (2010, background): “Although current improvements in diagnostic criteria and refined methodologies may be contributors, the prevalence appears to have increased in recent surveys (Bertoglio and Hendren 2009; Fombonne 2009; Lenoir et al. 2009).”
Autism risk factors: genes, environment, and gene-environment interactions (2012, result): “While the hypothesis of an increased incidence in relation to environmental factors could not be confirmed nor excluded definitely, studies using the same protocol several years apart are required.(63) Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to think that there may be both a real increase in the number of”
De novo mutations revealed by whole-exome sequencing are strongly associated with autism (2012, background): “21%).(24) The simulation was run until the desired number of ASD cases was reached (whether from background risk or because of de novo variants in ASD genes); a matching number of controls (samples without ASD due to background risk or de novo variants in ASD genes) were selected at random and the p”
Sex/Gender Differences and Autism: Setting the Scene for Future Research (2015, background): “The most widely reported male–female ratio for autism prevalence is 4–5:1, lower in individuals with intellectual disability and higher at the high-functioning end.(27) The association with IQ (a higher proportion of females have concur-”
A genome-wide scan for common alleles affecting risk for autism (2010, background): “Autism, the prototypical autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is diagnosed in 15–20 per 10 000 people (4).”
