According to estimates from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (ADDM), about 1 in 59 children have been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. ASD is estimated 4 times more common among boys, than among girls. The valuable input we receive from adults with ASD, families and professionals sustains our continued focus on assisting and educating families and professionals so that they can better meet the needs of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This includes helping families as they face the daily challenges that ASD brings and to connect people with the community resources they may find beneficial.
