Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in communication, behaviour and social functioning beginning in childhood. There is no local epidemiological study on ASD prevalence in Malaysia. However, in a feasibility study on the use of Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) among children of 18 to 36 months of age in child health clinics by Ministry of Health Malaysia, the prevalence of ASD in Malaysia was approximately 1.6 in 1,000.1 In the USA, the overall prevalence of ASD is 14.7 per 1,000 (one in 68) children aged 8 years and the prevalence shows an increasing trend over the years.
