Autism is one of those words we hear a lot, but most of us don’t realize how serious a problem it really is.

Autism is an equal opportunity condition. And it affects more children than you might think. Check out these statistics:

  • About 1 in 68 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network.
  • ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.
  • ASD is about 4.5 times more common among boys (1 in 42) than among girls (1 in 189).
  • Studies in Asia, Europe, and North America have identified individuals with ASD with an average prevalence of between 1% and 2%
