Objective@#To understand the
epidemic status and influencing factors of Mongolian
children with ASD in central and eastern
Inner Mongolia, so as to provide data support for formulating prevention and intervention
strategies and improving the overall
epidemiological investigation of ASD in
Inner Mongolia.@*
Methods@#Sixteen kindergartens and
primary schools were selected from Chifeng City, Ulanqab City, Tongliao City, Hulunbuir City and Xilingol League cities in
Inner Mongolia by means of random
cluster sampling. Firstly, 7 108
children aged 3-14 were initially screened with the Kirschner
Autism Behavior Scale(CABS), and then the
children with ASD positive were given the
autism behavior test scale (ABC). According to the diagnostic criteria, the professionals, including chief
physicians and associate chief
physicians from the major of
child psychiatry, diagnosed ASD with the total score of ABC scale ≥62. Univariate and
Logistic regression multivariate analysis were carried out among Mongolian
children to find out the influencing factors related to the occurrence of Mongolian ASD in
Inner Mongolia.@*Results@#The
prevalence of Mongolian
children was 0.37%. Mongolian ASD group and Mongolian normal

Measures such as shaping a healthy
growth environment, adjusting parental style, paying
attention to the level of early childhood
language development, and preventing
neonatal diseases might lower the
risk of ASD in
children.
