Abstract
The article presents the results of a comprehensive scientific comparative analysis of the results of the study of statistical and epidemiological indicators of autism incidence in the population of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic for 2019–2021, which is of practical importance in describing the diverse manifestations of autism incidence dynamics on the territory of a separate region of the Russian Federation. The results of the study of the probable relationship of age, sex, place of residence and social everyday features with the prevalence of autism in the population of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic showed that autism is more prevalent among the child population of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic. The leading position among the identified cases of autism is in male children under 14 years of age living in urban settings. Any peculiarities in the change of living conditions were not revealed. This suggests a connection between autism and demographic indicators, with no connection with social features of residence in the region.
