In the Unites States, one in every 88 children is diagnosed with some form of autism. With boys that number is even higher with 1 in 54, and in girls, 1 in 252, meaning boys are five times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. Some feel this disorder is growing at an epidemic rate as every 20 minutes someone is diagnosed with autism.
April is Autism Awareness Month. In order to highlight the growing need for concern and awareness about autism, the Autism Society has been celebrating National Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s. The United States recognizes April as a special opportunity for everyone to educate the public about autism and issues within the autism community.
