Aliyah Woods SPCE290_802 Discussion Board- Prevalence 1. What is the prevalence of ASD? How has the prevalence rates changed over the last 10 years? In today’s time about 1 to 44 children have ASD. Between 2008-2018 prevalence increased about 1.2% which is 12 in every 1,000 kids over 10 years. 2. What are the different prevalence rates between boys and girls? The prevalence rates between boys and girls are that 4.02% boys are more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. 3. When is a diagnosis of autism considered reliable and stable? In most cases and states it can be reliable at the age of two when an evaluation is done by a physician. But, in some cases ASD isn’t fully diagnosed until an adult. 4. Are there countries where the prevalence rates are higher or lower compared to the United States? Any thoughts on why or why not what? There are plenty states who have higher rates than the United States and many with lower rates, reasons for this is some states have really low resources. Also a lot about denial about ASD. Some of the higher rated states compared to the US is: Bahama 1.5%, Uganda 1.2%, Zambia 0.9% that’s only a few that are higher. 5. What are some of the economic costs related to ASD in the United States? Education, education is a major cost to families with children with ASD. Over the years the cost have only gone up and in the next few years it is stated for the economic cost of having a child with autism fund will be $461 billion. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nioshtic- 2/20048380.html (Links to an external site.) 6. What are some genetic conditions where individuals are more likely to also have a diagnosis of ASD? ASD is a family genetic disorder, not ever kid in the family will be diagnosed with ASD which is why I think some families are denial about it whenever one kid is having symptoms of ASD. 7. What is the typical level of cognitive functioning of children classified with ASD?

The level varies depending the child, some may be higher functioning that others. Some kids are verbal and others can’t speak or control the sounds that they say. Most kids with ASD struggle with motor imitation on the other hand the higher functioning kids don’t. But, the data on cognitive functioning are reported for sites having IQ test scores available on at least 70% of children who have ASD. 8. List 8 signs and symptoms of ASD. Avoiding eye contact. Delayed speech and communication skills. Reliance on rules and routines. Being upset by relatively minor changes. Unexpected reactions to sounds, tastes, sights, touch and smells. Difficulty understanding other people's emotions. 9. Is there a cure of ASD? Also, what does the research indicate regarding early intervention? There is no cure for ASD, there are treatments such as therapy and applied behavior analysis. 10. Are there differences in the prevalence of ASD when comparing different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups? Yes, white and black children are more likely to get identified with ASD than Hispanic children. Although there is research that all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups have ASD.
