Autism Rates Soar, 1 in 68 Now Affected
Friday, 28 March 2014 | by Pat's Picks
A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds autism affects 1 in 68 children, up from 1 in 88 just two years ago. USA Today says that means virtually every grade in every elementary school has a least one child with autism. Most experts believe the higher rates are due to better awareness and diagnosis and not an actual increase in the number of children affected with the condition.
