This research presents the results of the first phase of the study on the prevalence of pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in regular education in Quito, Ecuador. One-hundred-and-sixty-one regular schools in Quito were selected with a total of 51,453 pupils. Prevalence of ASD was assessed by an interview with the rector of the school or its delegate. Results show an extremely low prevalence of 0.11 % of pupils with any ASD diagnosis; another 0.21 % were suspected to have ASD, but were without a diagnosis. This low prevalence suggests that children and adolescents with ASD are not included in regular education in Quito. These results are discussed in the light of low diagnostic identification of ASD and low inclusion tolerance.
本研究展示了对厄瓜多尔基多市普通教育中自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)学生患病率研究第一阶段的结果。基多市161所普通学校被选中,共有51453名学生。通过与学校校长或其代表进行访谈来评估ASD的患病率。结果显示,任何ASD诊断的学生患病率极低,为0.11%;另有0.21%的学生被怀疑患有ASD,但未得到诊断。这种低患病率表明,基多市的普通教育中未纳入患有ASD的儿童和青少年。根据ASD诊断识别率低和包容容忍度低对这些结果进行了讨论。
