Abstract

Objective To describe the prevalence,distribution and difference of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at the age of 0 to 6 years old in Hainan province. Methods Totally 37 862 children aged 0~6 years were selected from 18 different cities and counties in Hainan province,and were screened by the "Child Development Issues Warning Signs" questionnaire,diagnosed by clinical specialists. Results A total of 235 children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders from 37 862 children aged 0 to 6 years,and the ASD prevalence was 0.62%.The difference on ASD prevalence between boys (0.99%) and girls (0.17%) were statistically significant (χ2=101.91,P<0.001).The older children had higher prevalence of ASD with signficant difference (χ2=288.62,P<0.01).Also,the autism rate in urban areas was significantly higher than that in other regions (χ2=114.77,P<0.001). Conclusions The prevalence of ASD in children aged 0~6 in Hainan province is high in the domestic and children are diagnosed with ASD at their older age.So it is urgently needed to improve the early diagnosis rate.
