The most recently reported result of autism is from Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
Countries that does not track or report their autism rates was set to be a failure as they failed to show concern regarding the childhood epidemic spreading across the globe.Such as in Korea, the stigma that an autism label against the entire families prevent parents from identifying the cause of the autism and cause two per three of South Korea's autistic children to live without treatment.In Asia, the children that has been registered as autistic is mostly in urban areas rather than rural due to lack of awareness about autism or environmental reasons such as there are less autistic children among rural areas.
