On February 8, 2007, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its latest revised prevalence figures for Autism. The report now indicates 1 in 150, up from the 1 in 166 figure reported in January, 2004, will be affected by the disease.
Autism is overwhelming for the families that are affected. Early intervention and a strong support system that works will help our children become productive citizens who can contribute to society. Ask what you can do to help.
Become educated and get involved. You can make a difference.
