Detailed explanation-1: -CDC estimates that about 1 in 44 8-year-old children have been identified with ASD (or 23.0 per 1, 000 8-year-olds). These estimates from the ADDM Network are based on data collected from health and special education records of children living in 11 communities across the United States during 2018.
Detailed explanation-2: -About one in 100 children has autism. Characteristics may be detected in early childhood, but autism is often not diagnosed until much later.
Detailed explanation-3: -How many people have autism? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1% of the world’s population has autism spectrum disorder – over 75, 000, 000 people. That may be a large number, but autism spectrum disorder (ASD) features a wide range of symptoms and levels of severity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Level 1 is the mildest, or “highest functioning” form of autism, which includes those who would have previously been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. Individuals with ASD level 1 may have difficulty understanding social cues and may struggle to form and maintain personal relationships.
