In 2014, the prevelance of autism was found to be 1 in 59 children in the US.
The Center For Disease Control has announced that autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States. This statistics should serve as a call to action for service providers and medical professionals to provide comprehensive care for autistic individuals. Now, more than ever, we need to fund research and support for this neurodiverse population.
