The source of data was the records of all 3 pediatric departments in Iceland. Twenty children born between 1981 and 1998 who had infantile spasms were invited to participate. When appropriate, the parents of these children were asked to complete the Social Communication Questionnaire. Children scoring 10 points or higher on the questionnaire were selected for further examination using the Autism Diagnostic Interview\u2212 Revised and either the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule or the Childhood Autism Rating Scale. All participants were given appropriate cognitive tests or measures of adaptive behavior. The parents of 17 children (10 boys, 7 girls) agreed to participate in the study. Age at assessment ranged from 5 to 19 years with a mean age of 11 years and 6 months. Fourteen children had at least one neurodevelopmental disorder. Six (6\/17), or 35.3%, were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (3 boys, 3 girls), five of these had a history of symptomatic infantile spasms, and four were profoundly mentally retarded (IQ\/DQ&lt;20). If the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder was restricted to children with a developmental age of 24 months or more (3 cases), the prevalence was 17.6%. The estimates found in this study exceed the estimated prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in the general population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073807306251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,21]],"date-time":"2007-09-21T13:33:33Z","timestamp":1190381613000},"page":"1102-1107","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":83,"title":["Autism Spectrum Disorders in Children With a History of Infantile Spasms: A Population-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Evald","family":"Saemundsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Autism and Communication Disorders, State Diagnostic and Counseling Center, Kopavogur, Iceland,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Petur","family":"Ludvigsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Landspitali University Hospital, Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vilhjalmur","family":"Rafnsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Iceland, Reykjavik"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004691-200311000-00004"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1059590"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1998.tb01274.x"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.1979.tb01625.x"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1994.tb02514.x"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1995.tb02569.x"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Santangelo SL, Folstein SE Autism: a genetic perspective.
