Abstract: Purpose: The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children and adolescents seem to be high in countries around the world, and it's worth understanding the latest prevalence and trends of ASD in children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the latest prevalence and decade trend of ASD among individuals aged 3–17 years in the United States. Methods: A total of 13,198 individuals aged 3–17 years were included. Annual data were examined from the National Health Interview Survey (2021–2022). Weighted prevalence for each of the selected developmental disabilities were calculated. Results: This cross-sectional study estimated the weighted prevalence of autism spectrum disorder were 3.05, 3.79, and 3.42% among individuals aged 3–17 years in the US in 2021, 2022, and the 2-year overall, respectively. We also observed a decade-long upward trend even after adjusting for demographic characteristics (P for trend <.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the prevalence of ASD among children and adolescents aged 3–17 years in the United States remained high and has increased over the past decade. The further investigation is necessary to evaluate potential modifiable risk factors and causes of ASD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
