The data was obtained and results are analyzed. Results: 37 of the 156 children analysed were determined to have Autism with a prevalence rate of 23.6% with a male: female ratio of 3.1:1 Conclusion: Prevalence of autism and other pervasive developmental disorder in children with mental retardation is high and all cases of intellectual disability must be screened for them.
