The rate of ASD grew significantly from 0.56% in 2002 to 0.94% in 2009. Although these results are within the range of typical findings from other studies, there were some interesting details. There were—in addition to 43 originally diagnosed cases in 2002—24 newly discovered cases in 2009 and nearly half of them were females. It is possible that unfamiliarity with the clinical presentation of autism in females have played a significant role in this context. There was diagnostic stability for the overall category of ASD over time in the group diagnosed in childhood (7—16) years, but considerable variability as regards diagnostic sub-groupings.

The role of cholesterol metabolism and various steroid abnormalities in autism spectrum disorders: A hypothesis paper / Christopher GILLBERG in Autism Research, 10-6 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-6 (June 2017) . - p.1022-1044 Titre : The role of cholesterol metabolism and various steroid abnormalities in autism spectrum disorders: A hypothesis paper Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Christopher GILLBERG, Auteur ; Elisabeth FERNELL, Auteur ; Eva KOCOVSKA, Auteur ; Helen MINNIS, Auteur ; Thomas BOURGERON, Auteur ; Lucy THOMPSON, Auteur ; Clare S. ALLELY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1022-1044 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  cholesterol  cortisol  estrogens  steroid hormones  testosterone  vitamin D Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Based on evidence from the relevant research literature, we present a hypothesis that there may be a link between cholesterol, vitamin D, and steroid hormones which subsequently impacts on the development of at least some of the “autisms” [Coleman & Gillberg]. Our hypothesis, driven by the peer reviewed literature, posits that there may be links between cholesterol metabolism, which we will refer to as “steroid metabolism” and findings of steroid abnormalities of various kinds (cortisol, testosterone, estrogens, progesterone, vitamin D) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Further research investigating these potential links is warranted to further our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying ASD.

Vitamin D in the General Population of Young Adults with Autism in the Faroe Islands / Eva KOCOVSKA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-12 (December 2014)

The case group consisting of a total population cohort of 40 individuals with ASD (aged 15–24 years) had significantly lower 25(OH)D3 than their 62 typically-developing siblings and their 77 parents, and also significantly lower than 40 healthy age and gender matched comparisons. There was a trend for males having lower 25(OH)D3 than females. Effects of age, month/season of birth, IQ, various subcategories of ASD and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule score were also investigated, however, no association was found. The very low 25(OH)D3 in the ASD group suggests some underlying pathogenic mechanism.
