Autism is a condition that affects more people than you might think. Sometimes you can’t even tell if someone has autism or not. There is an entire spectrum of autistic conditions, all of them differing in severity and how they affect a person’s life. Here are some statistics to keep in mind:
- 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%
