Magnetic resonance imaging and head circumference study of brain size in autism: birth through age 2 years. (2005, neutral): “Certainly, our sample of subjects with autism appears to have more individuals with mental retardation than appear in current population estimates of autism, where there is an increasing prevalence of individuals in the higher IQ range.(17) We are currently enriching our sample of 4-year-olds with i”
Diffusion tensor imaging: serial quantitation of white matter tract maturity in premature newborns (2004, background): “Some of these, such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, are very prevalent and are diagnosed with increasing frequency (Fombonne, 2003; Spencer et al., 2002).”
Young Adult Outcome of Autism Spectrum Disorders (2008, background): “Most of the increase is believed to be due to heightened awareness of the condition and to changes in and broadening of the definition with more higher and lower functioning individuals now included (Fombonne 2003).”
Common emotional and behavioral disorders in preschool children: presentation, nosology, and epidemiology. (2006, background): “The significant advances in our understanding of the nosology, epidemiology, and neuropsychological and genetics correlates of autism spectrum disorders in young children have resulted from a similar systematic program of research (Fombonne, 2003; Rutter, 2000; Volkmar et al., 2004).”
Global Prevalence of Autism and Other Pervasive Developmental Disorders (2012, methodology): “For example, the Atlanta survey by the CDC [Yeargin-Allsopp et al., 2003] was based on a very large population and included younger age groups than subsequent CDC surveys, and age specific rates were in fact in the 40–45/10 000 range in some birth cohorts [Fombonne, 2003b].”
Trajectory of development in adolescents and adults with autism. (2004, background): “Mortality A variety of physical health problems in individuals with autism have been documented in the epidemiological and clinical literature [Fombonne, 2003].”
Executive dysfunction in autism. (2004, background): “In a recent review of epidemiological studies the percentage of individuals with a learning disability is given as 70% [ 4 ].”
The epidemiology of autism spectrum disorders. (2007, neutral): “In ∼10% of children with autism, specific genetic, neurologic, or metabolic disorders are identified as etiologic factors (47).”
Mutations causing syndromic autism define an axis of synaptic pathophysiology (2011, background): “TSC and FXS represent two leading genetic risk factors for ASD and intellectual disabilit”
Prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in a total population sample. (2011, background): “Previous studies have varied enormously in the methods associated with multistage case identification designs, study populations, survey areas, screening, participation, and quality of confirmative diagnoses; each factor may have led to different prevalence estimates in each study (1, 9, 10).”
Epidemiology of autistic disorder and other pervasive developmental disorders. (2005, methodology): “Epilepsy, fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, cerebral palsy, phenylketonuria, neurofibromatosis, Down syndrome, congenital rubella, and hearing and visual impairments are among the medical conditions associated with autism in children.(55) Epilepsy rates are high among children with autism and ”
The Picture Exchange Communication System: Effects on Manding and Speech Development for School-Aged Children with Autism (2006, neutral): “To date, however, few experimental or quasi-experimental studies have examined the efﬁcacy of PECS (Charlop-Christy, Carpenter, Le, LeBanc, & Kellet, 2002; Ganz & Simpson, 2004; Magiati & Howlin, 2003; Tincani, 2004).”
Critical review. (2006, background): “Recent prevalence estimates have been reported as 20–40 cases per 10,000 births (Fombonne, 2003) and as high as 100 per 10,000 live births for the broader autism spectrum (Baird, 2006).”
Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorders: a randomized, controlled trial (2009, background): “Autism, Asperger syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) affect as many as 1 out of 150 children (Centers for Disease Control, 2007), and many higher-functioning children with ASD are not diagnosed until elementary school or later (Fombonne, 2003).”
