Corrigendum: Understanding profound autism: implications for stigma and supports

In the published article, there was an error in Table 2, Profound Autism Prevalence Estimates by Sample, Gender, and Race, as published. We have identified several typographical errors in the original Lancet Commission, from which the statistics in Table 2 for the EDX sample were derived. The corrected Table 2, Profound Autism Prevalence Estimates by Sample, Gender, and Race and its caption, appear below.

Table 2 Profound autism prevalence estimates by sample, gender, and race.

In the published article, there was an error the Results, United States Samples Prevalence Estimates, Paragraph 1. In the original Lancet paper, from which Table 2 and some of the Results section were derived, the proportions of individuals with profound autism in the EDX sample were incorrect. This sentence previously stated:

“The proportion of individuals meeting one or both criteria for profound autism criteria was 48% (95% CI 37–58%) in the EDX sample. A higher proportion of females in EDX met profound autism criteria than males, although confidence ranges overlapped (23% vs. 4%, see Table 2 for confidence intervals). Moreover, a higher proportion of participants of color met criteria for profound autism in the EDX sample compared to white participants (70% vs. 34%).”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“The proportion of individuals meeting one or both criteria for profound autism criteria was 57% (95% CI 49–64%) in the EDX sample. A higher proportion of females in EDX met profound autism criteria than males, although confidence ranges overlapped (70% vs. 54%, see Table 2 for confidence intervals). Moreover, a higher proportion of participants of color met criteria for profound autism in the EDX sample compared to white participants (69% vs. 52%).”
