Patients with adult autism spectrum disorder (ASD) continue to suffer from impairment in socialization and communication skills, and a proportion of them may develop psychiatric symptoms. It is thus likely that physicians in adult psychiatric departments may see a number of patients with ASD. Identification of patients with ASD is helpful and important for rehabilitation. This study estimated the prevalence of ASD among adult psychiatric outpatients in a Taiwanese medical center. A total of 660 patients were screened with Nylander and Gillberg's "Autism Spectrum Disorder in Adult Screening Questionnaire." Patients with high scores then under-went a diagnostic clinical interview conducted by child psychiatrists. Four patients (0.6%) were found to have ASD. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
