Читать книгу Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder - Jeremy Tolmie - Страница 6

Autism statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, April 2012) identify around 1in 68 American children as on the autism spectrum. Careful research shows that this increase is only partly explained by improved diagnosis and awareness. Studies also show that autism is five times more common among boys than girls. An estimated 1 out of 48 boys and 1 in 252 girls are diagnosed with autism in Canada.
