Product Description:

The incidence remained stable at 1 in 68. (Note: Different data collection methods will often yield differing results.) So, what does this mean for Indiana? Since no database currently exists in Indiana with the actual numbers of people on the autism spectrum, either statewide or by county, the only real figures come from the December 1 child count data collected by the Indiana Department of Education, Department of Special Education. These data are collected from all public school districts across Indiana. The chart at the end of this article illustrates the increasing numbers of ASD since 1999.
