Autism diagnoses in school-age children in southern Trøndelag 2016–2019
Maternal national background appears to be a less significant factor among school-age children than among preschool children who receive an autism spectrum diagnosis, and age at the time of diagnosis should be specified in studies on autism in children and adolescents. Psychiatric comorbidity and other accompanying developmental disorders may suggest shared aetiological factors or increased vulnerability in cases of undiagnosed autism in children.
