  1. 2008 AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS PREVALENCE RESULTS

  2. Overview • Describe what autism is • Describe the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network and its methodology • Present the 2008 results • Present surveillance trends for Arapahoe County

  3. What is Autism? • A group of developmental disabilities that cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges over a lifetime. • Can range from mild to severe.

  4. * CDC Slide

  5. ADDM NETWORK METHODS • Active case-finding with broad retrospective records-based screening for ASD classifications or behaviors. • Focus on children at age 8 to identify peak prevalence. • Multiple health and education sources of information. • Detailed behavioral, developmental, and testing information collected. • Ongoing quality control within and across sites. • Independent review and clinician confirmation of ASD case status based on the DSM-IV criteria. • Standard for setting ASD prevalence estimates in the U.S. * CDC Slide

  6. COLORADO MONITORING PROJECT • Goal: Determine the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) among children who were 8 years of age in 2008. • Denver Metropolitan area: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties • “Complete participation”: Areas with both health sources and school district participation • 2002: Arapahoe and Boulder counties • 2006 and 2008: Arapahoe county • “Incomplete participation”: - 2008: Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties

  7. Permission to Access Records • Health care facilities: • ASD is a reportable public health condition • Children < 10 years of age with confirmed or suspected ASD identified by health facilities in the Denver Metropolitan area are reportable to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. • Schools: • Individual agreements were developed with each participating school district and/or IRB approvals.

  22. Arapahoe County: EARLIEST DOCUMENTED DIAGNOSIS

  23. ADDM Network Summary of Findings, 2008 • Estimated prevalence of ASDs continues to rise in most ADDM Network communities, including Arapahoe County • Average prevalence of ASDs > 1% of 8-year-olds • Average = 1 in 88 eight-year-old (1 in 85 in Arapahoe County) • 23% increase, 2006-2008 • 78% increase, 2002-2008 • Estimated prevalence of ASDs varies widely • Across sites • By sex • By race/ethnicity *Modified CDC Slide

  24. GENERAL ISSUES: WHYISTHEIDENTIFIEDPREVALENCEOF ASD RISING? • Changes in diagnostic criteria over time • Increased awareness in the community • Changes in availability of services • Parents as advocates • Development of specialty services • Training of professionals • Recognition that ASDs can occur with severe ID, higher intellectual functioning, and other medical and psychiatric disorders • True increase in symptoms in the population • Increased risk due to environmental and/or genetic factors *CDC Slide
