• Description:
  Persons with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have impairments in social, communicative, and behavior development that typically are present before age 3 years and that often are accompanied by abnormalities in cognitive functioning, learning, attention, and sensory processing. Autism was thought previously to be rare, but during the 1990s, the number of persons reported to be receiving services for ASDs increased substantially. This increase has elevated public concern regarding prevalence of conditions in
  
  the autism spectrum and underscores the need for systematic public health monitoring. The complex nature of these behaviorally defined disorders, together with the current lack of genetic or biologic markers for early and consistent identification, make epidemiologic investigation challenging.
