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!
