Hello everyone. Today I wanted to share some statistics that I learned as a former one on one behavioral therapist…
- Autism is projected to occur in 1 in 150 births
-
- Over one million Americans have an autism spectrum disorder
-
- It is the fastest growing developmental disability, with 10 – 17 % annual growth
-
- Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism
-
- Autism is more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined
-
- The cost of lifelong care can be reduced significantly with early diagnosis and therapy
-
- By 2015, the estimated annual cost of treatment in the US will be over $200 billion
