Abstract
Objectives. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of autism in Northern Finland and to assess retro-spectively the associations of autistic disorder with identified medical conditions and additional disabilities in this defined population of children and adolescents with autistic disorder. In order to find out the factors influencing the outcome, the methods of treatment/habilitation and the interventions used were studied in detail. The last aim was to elicit reliable information for decision-makers as well as ideas for giving support and, because of the presumed better outcome, saving resources in the long run.
