Quick Facts About Autism
Since autism may occur in as many as one in every 166
people, it is estimated that there are millions of individuals
around the world living
with an autism spectrum disorder.
■ THE GOOD NEWS
is that many individuals with autism can become active and
productive members of their
communities and families.
■ MORE GOOD NEWS
is groundbreaking research is already helping to improve the lives of children
with autism
and their
families. While only a small percentage of individuals affected by autism get
the help they need, the right
kind of
help can make a world of difference.
■ THE NOT SO GOOD NEWS is existing schools are filled to capacity, new schools cannot open fast enough, and
funds for autism research are scarce. The greatest tragedy is the enormous untapped potential hidden in many
children and adults with autism. The result is significant stress on families, divorce, school systems struggling to
provide desperately needed support, and a tremendous burden
on taxpayers and society as a whole.
But you can help change that!
