| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Accurate prevalence estimates for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are fundamental to adequately program medical and educational resources for children. However, estimates vary globally and across Europe, and it is therefore wise to conduct epidemiological studies in defined geo-cultural contexts. Methods: We used a population screening approach to estimate the prevalence of ASD in the Centro region of Portugal, using a harmonized protocol as part of the Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) project. Results: The overall prevalence was estimated at 0.5% (95% CI 0.3–0.7), higher in schools with Autism Units (3.3%, 95%CI 2.7–3.9) than in regular schools (0.3%, 95% CI 0.1–0.5) or schools with Multiple Disability Units (0.3%, 95% CI 0.04–0.6). Discussion: The results indicate that the diagnosis of ASD is followed by the most effective educational policies in Centro Region. The variability in prevalence estimates across the different regions from the ASDEU project, and globally, is discussed. | pt_PT |
