Abstract in brief

The study examined 5-year-old children in Japan to determine if the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasing and to assess co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders, finding that the prevalence remains steady over time with no significant increase.
Researchers screened children annually from 2013 to 2016, inviting those who tested positive for further detailed assessments, resulting in an adjusted ASD prevalence of about 3.22%.
Most children with ASD also had at least one other neurodevelopmental disorder, highlighting the commonality of co-occurring conditions, and the study suggests the incidence of ASD has remained stable over the years studied.
