now according to latest U.S. stats its about 1 in 88 children, and in Canada about 1 in 200, although there is some controversy with the stats though which is really due to catch up stats with certain ethnic groups according the report. But hey why worry about the causes when we should be accepting those who both children & adults who have Autism and spectrum, for social,job, and housing supports especially as Autistic children grow up to be Autistic adults, and a you cannot prevent Autism either..that is like trying to prevent the sun from coming up or coming down...we are here to stay whether you agree or not, so deal with us. We all have gifts and its up to you parents/carers to work with us not against us on our timing of life.
Those with Autism have been here on earth since the dawn of time in one way or another, and will continue to be here as long as man continues to be on earth....
Autism is NOT a tragedy but of one filled with long journey of both the up and down days, and also of learning and growing and accepting each other despite our differences and quirks....
It seems that for success in science and art, a dash of autism is essential.
