CDC: 1 in 68 U.S. children has autism
http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/27/health/cdc-autism/index.html
Autism numbers are growing from 1 in 88 just two years ago. And about 1 in 42 boys have it, which Is 4.5 more likely than girls. This really really saddens me because you'd think as time goes on that there would be less and less of this happening because of all the science happening and new advances in technology but it looks like the complete opposite. I don't think people realize the huge spectrum of diagnosing autism, I mean there are some children with just the speech problem or problems focussing and then you have the other kids that can barely function on their own and Thats why I feel sometimes it is missed and just gets worse because there is such a wide range. It really hits me close to home because my little cousin who happens to be a male, was diagnosed when he was 12.. When all those years he could have been getting the help he needed
