This population study of the prevalence of autism sought to identify a representative cohort for future genetic studies. In 2002 all schools were screened for autism spectrum disorders. The target population were all children born in 1985 through 1994 and living in the Faroe Islands on December 31, 2002. Children who screened positive for autism characteristics were examined using the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO). Of the children aged 8 through 17 years, 0.56% had childhood autism, Asperger syndrome or atypical autism. The male:female ratio was just under 6:1. The prevalence of autism in the Faroe Islands was very similar to that reported from many western countries.

The Rising Prevalence of Autism: A Prospective Longitudinal Study in the Faroe Islands / Eva KOCOVSKA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-9 (September 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-9 (September 2012) . - p.1959-1966 Titre : The Rising Prevalence of Autism: A Prospective Longitudinal Study in the Faroe Islands Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eva KOCOVSKA, Auteur ; Rannvá BISKUPSTO, Auteur ; I. Carina GILLBERG, Auteur ; Asa ELLEFSEN, Auteur ; Hanna KAMPMANN, Auteur ; Tormóður STORA, Auteur ; Eva BILLSTEDT, Auteur ; Christopher GILLBERG, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1959-1966 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Asperger’s syndrome  Prevalence  Genetic isolate  Children  Young adults  Females Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We have followed up a 2002 population study of autism prevalence in 15–24-year olds in the Faroe Islands. 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.
