Four in every 1,000 Chinese children aged 6 to 12 have autism, an incidence that experts say is higher than expected.
The figure has been uncovered in the first national epidemiological investigation into the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder.
Symptoms include differences and disabilities in many areas including social communication skills, motor skills, and sometimes intellectual skills.
The investigation figures did not include children who stay at home or those in special schools, as they have already been diagnosed as having the condition.
Wang Yi, vice-president of the Children's Hospital at Fudan University in Shanghai led the project.
Wang says more than half of the children in the project were diagnosed with autism for the first time.
He says such data obtained at the national level shows that autism is much more serious than previously thought.
China is not the only country with a high incidence of autism. Last year, the United States said one in every 68 children in the country has autism.

Scientists have identified new species of insects and plants in central China's Shennongjia National Nature Reserve.
Seven kinds of flies and three types of dragonflies have been discovered in the nature reserve in the past five years, along with a number of new genus and species of the nettle family.
The discoveries are part of a newly completed research project on the natural resources in the region. The research took five years, and has resulted in a comprehensive report on the area's geography, fauna and flora, as well as microbes and human development.
Researchers say the discoveries have offered further evidence that Shennongjia is one of the most biological rich places on Earth.
The nature reserve is creating a digital database to integrate research on the reserve with 3-D maps. The database will be the first of its kind in China.
Shennongjia is the only well-preserved sub-tropical mid-latitude forest ecosystem in the world.
In 1990, it was recognized by the United Nations as a World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

中国6岁至12岁儿童中,每1000个孩子中有4个患有孤独症,专家表示这一发病率超过预期 。
中国首个针对孤独症谱系障碍患病率进行的流行病学调查揭示了这一数据 。
孤独症的症状包括在社交技能、运动技能和智力技能等多个领域显示出来的差异和障碍 。
这项调查数据不包括在家学习和在特殊学校学习的儿童,因为他们已经被鉴定为孤独症患者 。
上海复旦大学附属儿童医院的副主任王艺是这项调查的负责人之一 。
王艺表示,接受调查的儿童中有一半以上是首次被诊断为孤独症 。
他表示,这一全国性调查数据明显要比此前预想的要严重很多 。
中国并不是唯一的孤独症发病率高的国家 。去年,美国疾病预防与控制中心数据显示,每68个儿童中就有1个儿童患有孤独症 。

科学家在中国中部的神农架自然保护区发现了新的昆虫物种和植物物种 。
过去五年,科学家在该自然保护区发现7种苍蝇新种和3种蜻蜓新种以及荨麻科植物的新属种和新物种 。
神农架自然保护区的自然资源综合调查报告于近日完成,这些发现是调查的一部分成果 。这项调查历时五年,对该地区的自然地理、动物、植物、微生物、人类发展等开展系统全面的调查 。
研究人员表示,新发现进一步证实神农架地区是世界上生物物种最丰富的地区之一 。
神农架自然保护区将建立数字数据库,可以在3D地图上对该保护区进行综合研究 。这在中国还是第一次 。
神农架自然保护区是世界世界中纬度地区唯一保持完好的亚热带森林生态系统 。
1990年,联合国教科文组织将神农架列入世界生物圈保护区网 。
