Epidemiology of autism spectrum disorders in adults in the community in England. (2011, background): “7 per 10 000.(6) In 3 recent large regionwide or national community surveys(8-10) of children and adolescents in England, the prevalence of ASD was approximately 10 per 1000.”
High intelligence: A risk factor for psychological and physiological overexcitabilities (2018, background): “(Christensen et al., 2016; Fombonne, 2005), and thus the proportion of those with autism, Asperger's, and other PDDs are markedly different between the national averages and this study's sample.”
The role of oxytocin in social bonding, stress regulation and mental health: an update on the moderating effects of context and interindividual differences. (2013, background): “In contrast, the prevalence of several disorders characterized by more pervasive disruptions in social cognition and functioning, such as autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia, is higher in males than in females (Aleman et al., 2003; Fombonne, 2005).”
Linkage, association, and gene-expression analyses identify CNTNAP2 as an autism-susceptibility gene. (2008, background): “Autism (MIM 209850) is a common and heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by language impairments, social and communicative deficits, and repetitive behaviors.(3) Although heritability estimates for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) range between 70% and 90%,(4) the variable phenotyp”
Advances in autism genetics: on the threshold of a new neurobiology (2008, unknown): “A meta-analysis of ASD prevalence rates suggests that approximately 37 in 10,000 individuals are affecte”
Oxytocin: the Great Facilitator of Life (2009, unknown): “Autism spectrum disorders (ASD; includes autism) are labeled as pervasive developmental disorders, and can include other medical disorders, such as retardation and seizures, and psychological problems, such as heightened anxiety (Fombonne, 2005).”
Emotional competence in children with autism: Diagnostic criteria and empirical evidence (2008, background): “Besides, neglecting research on the majority of individuals with ASD who are mentally retarded (MRASD) (Fombonne, 2005) would misrepresent the emotional competence of children with ASD.”
AutDB: a gene reference resource for autism research (2008, background): “( 3 ) Entries are organized in the database for search and retrieval.”
Child and adolescent mental disorders: the magnitude of the problem across the globe. (2008, background): “As demonstrated in the case of autism, caution needs to be maintained in assuming that the true magnitude of any disorder is increasing (Fombonne, 2005).”
Epidemiology of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (2009, methodology): “Taking 60 and 70/10,000 as two working prevalence figures for the combination of all PDDs, and using population estimates for the United States of July 1, 2002, it can be estimated that between 486,000 and 567,000 subjects younger than 20 years suffer from a PDD in the United States.”
Social Skills Interventions for Children with Asperger’s Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism: A Review and Recommendations (2008, background): “The number of youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder has increased significantly over the past fifteen years (Fombonne, 2005), and both empirical and clinical evidence suggests that children with AS/HFA may be the fastest growing segment of the autism population (Sansosti & Powell-Smith,…”
Mapping early brain development in autism. (2007, unknown): “Autism spectrum disorders (ASD; referred to as autism throughout this review) are relatively common, occurring in 1 out of 150 individuals (Fombonne, 2005).”
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Identification of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders (2008, background): “Recent epidemiological studies have found conflicting results on ethnic or racial differences in the community prevalence of ASD.(3,22,24) Studies that have examined racial and ethnic differences in the age and accuracy of identification of ASD have also produced mixed results.”
Consensus Paper: Pathological Role of the Cerebellum in Autism (2012, background): “The incidence of autism has dramatically risen during the last two decades from 2 to 5/10,000 to approximately 1 to 2/ 1,000 children [232]; in addition to broader diagnostic criteria and greater awareness, a real increase in incidence is also likely [230, 233].”
THE FAMILIAL RISK OF AUTISM (2014, unknown): “Age at ASD diagnosis 13 (4-22) 13 (4-22) 13 (4-23) 13 (4-22) 11 (4-21) 10 (4-25)”
