AI Overview Autism rates are similar between Jewish males and the general population in Israel, with a national prevalence of approximately 1.13% in children and adolescents in 2022, and a male-to-female ratio of around 4:1, consistent with global trends. However, specific communities like the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community show lower rates, potentially due to cultural factors influencing diagnosis and reporting. Additionally, a specific TBCB gene mutation linked to autism is found at a higher rate (1:80) in Ashkenazi Jews compared to the general population (5:100,000). General Population and Male-to-Female Ratios In Israel, the estimated prevalence of autism among children and adolescents was about 1.13% in 2022. The male-to-female ratio for autism diagnoses in Israel is around 4:1, similar to other countries. Community-Specific Rates Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community: Studies have found a low prevalence of autism in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, possibly due to factors affecting diagnosis and reporting. Ashkenazi Jewish Community: A specific TBCB gene mutation, known to be linked to autism, is found at a much higher rate in Ashkenazi Jews (1:80) compared to the non-Jewish population (5:100,000).

In Israel, the concept of autism is sometimes perceived differently by various communities, affecting how it is diagnosed and reported.
