Autism Awareness
Autism is a developmental disability that comes from a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain. It is characterized by the abnormal development of communication skills, social skills, and reasoning. Children may appear normal until around the age of 30 months. Autism Speaks continue to fund research on effective methods for earlier diagnosis.
Autism statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identify around 1 in 110 American children as on the autism spectrum – a 600 percent increase in prevalence over the past two decades. Careful research shows that this increase is only partly explained by improved diagnosis and awareness. Studies also show that autism is three to four times more common among boys than girls. An estimated 1 out of 70 boys is diagnosed with autism in the US.
More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes or pediatric AIDS combined. There is no established explanation for this continuing increase, although improved diagnosis and environmental influences are two reasons often considered.
