Autism affects 1 in 36 children in the United States with more children identified than ever before.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Autism is about 4x more likely in boys than girls.
Autism can be reliably diagnosed by age 2, but children may be diagnosed at earlier ages.
Children with autism can learn and succeed in the classroom and beyond. Like every child, with the help of their families, providers, doctors, specialists, and communities, kids with autism can thrive.
