1 In 150!

According to this recent report, more than half a million 8 year olds have some form of autism in the United States.  That means that 1 in 150 may have an autism spectrum disorder.

As it get easier to identify autism in children and adults, the numbers change.  It used to be 1 in 166.  Are we a whole nation of autistics?  Time will tell.
