Autism

Autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges.

The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives, while others may need less.

A diagnosis of ASD now includes several conditions that used to be diagnosed separately, including:

Autistic disorder
Pervasive developmental disorder not
otherwise specified (PDD-NOS)
Asperger syndrome

These conditions are now all called autism spectrum disorder.

About 1 in 54 children has been identified with ASD, according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network.

About 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3-17 years were diagnosed with a developmental disability, as reported by parents, during a study period of 2009-2017, with ASD being four times more common in boys than among girls.

These developmental disabilities included autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, blindness, and cerebral palsy, among others.
