Product Description:

In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control issued a report based on a sample of 8 year olds, and concluded that the prevalence of autism had risen to 1 in 150 in American children and almost 1 in 94 among boys. By 2009, based on a similar sample, that incidence had increased to 1 in 110. And in 2012, using a similar sample, it was announced that the incidence had climbed to 1 in 88. Based on these latest numbers, 1 in 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls are being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
