Abstract

Objective: Effective access to essential services is critical for some individuals with autism. In Argentina, the Unique Disability ID ensures essential rights and benefits for people with autism. Analyzing the demand for autism-related Disability IDs can offer valuable insights into the needs of this population.

Method: This study examined official data on Unique Disability IDs for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Buenos Aires from 2016 to 2021.

Results: Results showed most Disability IDs were issued to males and for Pervasive Developmental Disorders. Notably, almost half of the Disability IDs were granted to individuals over 8 years old, being these consistent trends over the years. We observed a significant drop in Disability ID issuance in 2020.

Conclusions: Our findings highlight challenges regarding delayed and non-specific diagnosis, leading to delayed access to rights and less-targeted treatments. These patterns on spontaneous assistance requests for state services related to autism can shape well-informed public policies and optimize resource allocation.

在布宜诺斯艾利斯颁发孤独症残疾证书：纵向分析。

目标：有效获得基本服务对一些自闭症患者至关重要。在阿根廷，单一残疾证书（CUD）确保了自闭症患者的基本权利和福利。分析与自闭症相关的CUD需求可以为了解这一人群的需求提供有价值的见解。方法：本研究检查了2016年至2021年布宜诺斯艾利斯自闭症谱系障碍CUD排放的官方数据。结果：结果显示，大多数CUD发放给男性和广泛性发育障碍患者。值得注意的是，几乎一半的CUD被授予了8岁以上的人，这一趋势多年来一直保持一致。我们注意到2020年CUD排放量显著下降。结论：我们的发现突出了与延迟和非特异性诊断相关的挑战，导致延迟获得权利和针对性较差的治疗。这些与自闭症相关的国家服务的自发援助请求模式可以塑造健全的公共政策，并优化资源配置。
