Current studies on the development autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at different ages are reviewed. The review highlights the increasing interest to this problem and converging positions of researchers from different countries, encouraged by the development of international and other classifications of mental diseases, on the terminology, classification and prevalence of ASD in children. An important feature of the present stage is to draw attention to an understudied problem of ASD in adults, including elderly, and provision of medical and social care to these patients.
本文综述了当前关于自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）在不同年龄段发展情况的研究。该综述强调了人们对这一问题的兴趣日益浓厚，以及在国际和其他精神疾病分类发展的推动下，不同国家研究人员在儿童ASD的术语、分类和患病率方面趋于一致的立场。现阶段的一个重要特征是关注成人（包括老年人）中研究不足的ASD问题，并为这些患者提供医疗和社会护理。
