  1. Prevalência da perturbação do espectro do autismo na região Centro de Portugal: Um estudo no âmbito do projeto ASDEU. A prevalência da perturbação do espectro do autismo (PEA) em crianças foi estimada na região Centro de Portugal, no âmbito do projeto Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU). A metodologia de estudo baseou-se no rastreio de crianças entre os 7 e 9 anos matricula- das, no ano letivo de 2016/2017, em escolas primárias desta região. O rastreio incluiu todas as escolas com unidades de. 2021.
