New Jersey in 1st Place!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New Jersey ranks in first  place in the prevalence of autism and related disorders.  In The New York Times article titled, "An Autism Anomaly, Partly Explained," New Jersey has a better awareness of autism, good record keeping and a wider variety of services available for children with autism and related disorders.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has suggested that other states that were part of their 14 state study should follow New Jersey's example when identifying autism  in children.

Keep up the good work, New Jersey!
