Prevalence of Childhood Disintegrative Disorder.

Fombonne, Eric

Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v6 n2 p149-57 Jun 2002

A review of 32 epidemiological surveys of autism and pervasive developmental disorders found four surveys yielded estimates for childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD) ranging from 1.1 to 6.4 per 100,000. It is concluded that CDD is very rare and its prevalence is 60 times less than that of autistic disorder. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
