Age of Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Nepal / R. SHRESTHA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-6 (June 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-6 (June 2019) . - p.2258-2267 Titre : Age of Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Nepal Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : R. SHRESTHA, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Josephine BARBARO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2258-2267 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Age of diagnosis  Autism spectrum disorder  Low- and middle-income countries  Nepal Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study investigated the age of diagnosis (AoD) of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Nepal by using de-identified data on 246 children with a diagnosis of ASD registered at AutismCare Nepal Society from 2010 to 2015. The mean AoD in children was 58 months (range 14-187 months). Majority of children were male (76%), lived in the Kathmandu valley (75%), and were from upper caste groups (62%). The mean diagnostic age of ASD in Nepal is much later than the age at which a reliable diagnosis is possible, indicating the need to reduce the gap between the age at which it is possible to diagnose ASD, and the average age at which ASD is currently diagnosed.

Changes in Knowledge on the Signs of Autism in Young Children (11-30 Months) among Female Community Health Volunteers in Nepal / R. SHRESTHA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-1 (January 2022)

FCHVs (N?=?60) significantly improved their knowledge about autism and reported increased perceived confidence in monitoring and referring young children at high likelihood of autism following training, which was sustained one year later. FCHVs also reported a positive impact of training on their work. These findings indicate the effectiveness of training in improving FCHVs' knowledge and perceived confidence to monitor and refer young children at high likelihood of autism.
