Epidemiological studies on autism lack representation from Asia. We estimated the prevalence of autism among children and youths in Hong Kong using a two-stage approach. In addition, we evaluated the psychometric properties of the screening instrument and explored sex differences within an epidemiological context. A random school-based sample of…

Leiemma A. Canty; Anoo Bhopti; Leeanne M. Carey – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2023
Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may also have undiagnosed developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Prevalence rates of the ADHD/DCD comorbidity are estimated between 30% and 50%. Given the significant impact these disorders have on a child's occupational performance, lack of detection of DCD is of concern.…
