Accurate reporting of prevalence allows us to compare ASDs among populations and to compare the number of people with ASDs at different points in time. It shows the magnitude of the problem and describes the characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, and gender, of people with ASDs. This information can help direct research. It allows researchers to ask more informed questions to better understand risk factors for and possible causes of ASDs.
A recent study (18) (see box on page 7) found that the economic costs associated with autism are approximately $35 billion dollars per year. These costs include education for children with ASDs and treatments to help reduce the symptoms of the disorders. Families, public agencies, and some private agencies bear the responsibility of paying for these services. Accurate reporting of the prevalence of ASDs can help providers plan for the funding and resources—such as therapies, trained teachers, diagnosticians, health care providers, and related service professionals—needed to support children with ASDs and their families. Precise reporting of ASDs can also raise awareness, encourage commitment by service providers and researchers, and help lead the way to more effective intervention and prevention.
