“Higher statistics do not necessarilly mean a worsened reality.” – Ellis Henican
The number of autism cases in the United States has reached one in every 88 children according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) report. This is a 78 percent rise from ten years ago.
The study, however, didn’t find that the increased numbers were evenly spread across the country. The CDC reported that just one in 210 children in Alabama were affected, as opposed to 1 in 47 in Utah. And the biggest growth in diagnoses over the last few years was among black and Hispanic children.
Why?
“States like Utah have facilities that are more advanced and are more readily available. Maybe that’s the reason we find so much more autism there than in other places.” – Ellis Henican
