There are no epidemiological data on autism for Mexico. This study was conducted to generate a first estimate of ASD prevalence in Mexico. We surveyed children age eight in Leon (Guanajuato). The sample was stratified in two strata: (1) children having special education and medical records (SEMR; N = 432) and (2) children attending regular schools (GSS; N = 11,684). GSS children were screened with the SRS and those with the highest scores were invited to a diagnostic evaluation. The final sample comprised 36 children (80.6 % male) who had confirmed ASD. A third had intellectual disability, 25 % were non-verbal, 69 % had co-occurring behavioral problems. The prevalence overall was 0.87 % (95 % CI 0.62, 1.1 %). This survey provides an estimate for ASD prevalence in Mexico that is consistent with recent studies.
墨西哥没有关于自闭症的流行病学数据。本研究旨在对墨西哥自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患病率进行首次估算。我们对莱昂（瓜纳华托州）8岁儿童进行了调查。样本分为两个层次：（1）有特殊教育和病历的儿童（SEMR；N = 432）和（2）就读于普通学校的儿童（GSS；N = 11,684）。对GSS儿童使用社会反应量表（SRS）进行筛查，得分最高的儿童被邀请进行诊断评估。最终样本包括36名确诊为ASD的儿童（80.6%为男性）。三分之一的儿童有智力障碍，25%的儿童无语言能力，69%的儿童同时存在行为问题。总体患病率为0.87%（95%置信区间0.62, 1.1%）。这项调查提供了与近期研究一致的墨西哥ASD患病率估算。
