Volkmar (Ed.), *Handbook of autism and pervasive developmental disorders* (4th edition). New York: Wiley \u0026 Sons.\n\n**Abstract**:\n\n\u003e Since 1966, over 80 epidemiological surveys of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been conducted in more than 20 countries. In this chapter, we review existing prevalence estimates for ASDs and discuss methodological factors impacting the estimation of prevalence and the interpretation of changes in prevalence estimates over time. Possible explanations for an increase in the prevalence of ASD within and across populations are considered. Increases in ASD diagnostic rates cannot currently be attributed to a true increase in the incidence of ASD due to multiple confounding factors. It remains to be seen how changes to diagnostic criteria introduced in the DSM-5 will impact estimates of ASD prevalence going forward.\n\n**Key Words:** *epidemiology, prevalence, incidence, Autism, Autism Spectrum, time trends, DSM-5, cross-cultural comparison*\n\nThe chapter includes a lot more discussion of the figures. Please note that all figures utilize hypothetical data to illustrate methodological constructs.\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"jumbotron\"\u003e\n  \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis work is licensed under a \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\"\u003eCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License\u003c/a\u003e.\n\u003c/div\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapreshill%2Fepiautism","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fapreshill%2Fepiautism","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapreshill%2Fepiautism/lists"}
