The prevalence of autism in Australia. Can it be established from existing data?
Inconsistencies in autism prevalence estimates calculated from existing data sources suggest that further efforts are needed to ensure the collection of reliable information about the prevalence of ASD for national, State and Territory use. Existing data systems need to be improved or additional data systems need to be developed to ensure the collection of reliable information. Reliable and consistent ASD prevalence data would ensure that services are being provided to those who need them and would enhance the opportunities to undertake meaningful population-based research.
