Autism statistics improving

Autism statistics improvingAs I've posted before, autism statistics are unreliable. No one really knows the prevalence of autism so it's hard to say if there's been an increase or not. Statistics are improving, at least somewhat with a new CDC study that pegs incidence at about 5.5 per 1000 or roughly one in 175. The new information is still not definitive, considering it reports the proportion of parents or caregivers who answer yes to the question, "Has a doctor or health care provider ever told you that (child's name) has autism?"
