The Prevalence of Autistic Spectrum Disorders in People Using a Community Learning Disabilities Service.
Hare, Dougal Julian; Chapman, Melanie; Fraser, Janelle; Gore, Sarah; Burton, Mark
Journal of Learning Disabilities (United Kingdom), v7 n3 p267-81 Sep 2003
A survey of service providers for people with learning disabilities in the Manchester (England) region identified a total of 174 people with either a confirmed or a suspected autistic spectrum disorder. Discussion of current and historical factors in estimating incidence suggests that the usual 10% of service users represents the lowest estimate of prevalence in this population.
