Abstract
This study is an initial study providing nationwide statistics regarding the prevalence of injuries and comorbidities in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The prevalence of injuries and comorbidities in pleple with ASD was examined in the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) data spanning from 2010 to 2019. We found that the prevalence of injuries in people with ASD was not higher than in the general population. However, this had increased steadily over 10 years. The most common comorbidities with ASD were found to be mental and behavioral disorders. Outpatient visits for mental diseases such as schizophrenia and hospitalization for dental treatment were more prevalent than in the general population.
