美国儿童的自闭症诊断在五年内增加了25%, Autism diagnoses in U.S. children rose 25% in five years, driven by better screening and awareness, not environment.

2025年10月公布的一项新研究发现,美国3至17岁儿童自闭症诊断明显增加,在过去五年中上升了25%。 A new study released in October 2025 finds a significant increase in autism diagnoses among children aged 3 to 17 in the United States, with rates rising 25% over the past five years. 研究人员将这一上升归因于筛查的改进、认识的提高和诊断标准的扩大,尽管他们没有发现任何环境触发因素的证据。 Researchers attribute the rise to improved screening, greater awareness, and expanded diagnostic criteria, though they note no evidence of environmental triggers. 这些数据来自联邦卫生调查,显示了地区、性别和社会经济状况的差异。 The data, drawn from federal health surveys, shows disparities by region, gender, and socioeconomic status. 专家们敦促继续投资于早期干预服务和对家庭的支持。 Experts urge continued investment in early intervention services and support for families.
