有關自閉症數據的聲明

『美國疾病控制及預防中心』(Centers for Di
) 發佈一項全國兒童健康普(National Survey of Children’s Health) 重要發現，有關由家長自行報告的自閉症發生率。
CDC印刷中的一份最新『自閉症及發展障礙監察網絡』報告(Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network簡稱為ADDM報告)。由於新數據反映問題的嚴重性，我們宣佈CDC的自閉症發生率調查數據，証實和HRSA調查自閉症發生率有相同的上升趨勢，我們發現大約百分之一(1%)兒童確診患上自閉症。但在ADDM的調查顯示不同(美國)社區的自閉症發生率有不同的趨勢，CDC將在新一期的 ADDM報告列出詳細的數據。CDC依據出版指引大約在2009年末出版整份ADDM報告。
CDC 及 HRSA 兩個組織認同自閉症是涉及公共健康的一項緊急情況，同時數據反映這項問題需要建立全國性的對策。CDC會繼續研究與自閉症可能有關的危險因素，並保持CDC現有監察工作，以了解自閉症發生率在不同時段的趨勢。CDC希室透過發佈這些新數據，可以提高公眾對自閉症早期檢測及早期干預的醒覺，並藉此供政府政策及服務策劃作參考，從而能滿足受自閉症影響的人士、家庭及社區日漸增加的服務需要。

Objectives The reported increasing prevalence of autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) and attendant health and family impact make
monitoring of ASD prevalence a public health priority.
Methods The prevalence of parent-reported diagnosis of ASD among
US children aged 3 to 17 years was estimated from the 2007 National
Survey of Children's Health (sample size: 78037). A child was considered
to have ASD if a parent/guardian reported that a doctor or other
health care provider had ever said that the child had ASD and that
the child currently had the condition. The point-prevalence for ASD
was calculated for those children meeting both criteria. We examined
sociodemographic factors associated with current ASD and with a past
(but not current) ASD diagnosis. The health care experiences for
children in both ASD groups were explored.
Results The weighted current ASD point-prevalence was 110 per
10,000. We estimate that 673,000 US children have ASD. Odds of
having ASD were 4 times as large for boys than girls. Non-Hispanic
(NH) black and multiracial children had lower odds of ASD than NH
white children. Nearly 40% of those ever diagnosed with ASD did not
currently have the condition; NH black children were more likely
than NH white children to not have current ASD. Children in both ASD
groups were less likely than children without ASD to receive care
within a medical home.
Conclusions The observed point-prevalence is higher than previous US
estimates. More inclusive survey questions, increased population
awareness, and improved screening and identification by providers
may partly explain this finding.
