The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children in the United States has risen dramatically over the past two decades. In 2022, an estimated 32.2 out of every 1,000 8-year-old children were identified with ASD, marking a nearly fivefold increase from the rate of 6.7 per 1,000 children in 2000. This significant upward trend underscores the growing importance of understanding and addressing ASD in American society. Gender disparities in autism diagnosis The increase in ASD prevalence is not uniform across genders. From 2016 to 2019, male children were nearly four times more likely to be diagnosed with ASD than their female counterparts. Approximately 4.8 percent of boys aged 3 to 17 years had received an ASD diagnosis at some point in their lives, compared to only 1.3 percent of girls in the same age group. This substantial gender gap highlights the need for further research into potential biological and social factors influencing ASD diagnosis rates. Racial and ethnic variations in autism prevalence Autism prevalence also varies across racial and ethnic groups. Data from 2016 to 2019 show that non-Hispanic white children aged 3 to 17 years had an ASD prevalence of 2.9 percent, while around 3.5 percent of Hispanic children had ASD. While this statistic provides insight, it is essential to consider potential disparities in diagnosis and access to services among different racial and ethnic communities. Further research and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure equitable identification and support for children with ASD across all populations.

These statistics present a group of measures on waiting times for autism spectrum disorder diagnostic pathways, based on the time between a referral for suspected autism and the first care contact associated with that referral. There are also multiple breakdowns based on the progression and outcomes of those referrals. Each of these measures contributes to an overall picture of waiting times for diagnostic pathways. The approach is outlined in the methodology section of this publication.

This study examined involuntary capture of attention, overt attention, and stimulus valence and arousal ratings, all factors that can contribute to potential attentional biases to face and train objects in children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the visual domain, faces are particularly captivating, and are thought to have a 'special status' in the attentional system. Recent research suggests that similar attentional biases may exist for other classes of objects (e.g. birds), providing support for the role of exposure in attention prioritization. This research aimed to determine whether other classes of objects (i.e. trains) can capture attention similarly to what has been reported for faces. Children (6-14 years old) with and without ASD performed a visual search task where they indicated whether a target butterfly appeared amongst an array of face, train, and neutral distractors while their eye-movements were tracked. Content type is behavioural data and eye-tracking data. Software used was IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0. This dataset was originally deposited in the Simon Fraser University institutional repository.

Background and ObjectivesStudy of the impact of socioeconomic status on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and severe intellectual disabilities (ID) has yielded conflicting results. Recent European studies suggested that, unlike reports from the United States, low socioeconomic status is associated with an increased risk of ASD. For intellectual disabilities, the links with socioeconomic status vary according to the severity. We wished to clarify the links between socioeconomic status and the prevalence of ASD (with or without ID) and isolated severe ID.Methods500 children with ASD and 245 children with severe ID (IQ

The Child Development Center (CDC) market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing awareness of early childhood development's importance and rising prevalence of developmental disorders like autism. The market, estimated at $15 billion in 2025, is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% from 2025 to 2033, reaching approximately $25 billion by 2033. This growth is fueled by several factors, including government initiatives promoting early intervention programs, increased parental spending on childcare and educational services, and a growing demand for specialized centers catering to children with autism and other developmental needs. The segment focused on children with autism is experiencing particularly rapid expansion due to heightened awareness and improved diagnostic capabilities. Furthermore, the increasing number of dual-income households necessitates professional childcare, further boosting market demand. The market is segmented by application (normal children, autistic children, and others) and type of center (centers for intellectual, emotional, and physical development; early intervention and treatment centers). While centers focused on intellectual, emotional, and physical development constitute a larger segment currently, early intervention and treatment centers are exhibiting faster growth due to rising autism rates and increased focus on therapeutic interventions. Geographic variations exist, with developed regions like North America and Europe currently holding larger market shares, but developing economies are projected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to rising disposable incomes and increased awareness of CDC services. Competitive pressures are moderate with a mix of large national chains and smaller, localized providers. Key challenges include maintaining high quality of care while managing operational costs and ensuring skilled staff availability. The increasing use of technology in early childhood education presents a key opportunity for future growth and innovation.

The aim of this publication is to provide information about the key differences in healthcare between people with a learning disability and those without. It contains aggregated data on key health issues for people who are recorded by their GP as having a learning disability, and comparative data about a control group who are not recorded by their GP as having a learning disability. Six new indicators were introduced in the 2022-23 reporting year for patients with and without a recorded learning disability. These relate to: • Patients with an eating disorder • Patients with both an eating disorder and autism diagnosis • Patients with a diagnosis of autism who are currently treated with antidepressants More information on these changes can be found in the Data Quality section of this publication. Data has been collected from participating practices using EMIS and Cegedim Healthcare Systems GP systems.
