This document summarizes findings from 4 studies on the prevalence and incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in different populations as well as a randomized controlled trial of an early intervention for toddlers with ASD. The studies examined rates of ASD in the US according to a national health survey, in an Israeli population, in Guanajuato, Mexico, and evaluated the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model early intervention program for toddlers with ASD. A Cochrane review also assessed the evidence for early intensive behavioral interventions for young children with ASD.
