Autism Rate Now at One Percent

of All US Children?

By Kirby, huffingtonpost.com bit.ly/108qhZ

A pair of federally funded studies on autism

rates is about to make news – big news – and it isn't good: It would

appear that somewhere around one percent of all US children currently have an

autism spectrum disorder. The rate is even higher among six to 11 year olds

and among boys, according to data from at least one of the new studies.

If you are an expectant parent, or planning to

have a child soon, you might want to sit down before absorbing these

staggering statistics, recently released by the National Survey of Children's

Health (NSCH), which is supported by the Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

survey of parents of nearly 82,000 US children, the odds of a child receiving

an ASD diagnosis are one in 63. If it is a boy, the chances climb to a

science fiction-like level of one in 38, or 2.6% of all male children in

America.

But there was also some surprisingly good

news. Enormous numbers of children originally diagnosed with ASD went on to

shed their diagnosis as they got older, parents reported.

Among all children aged two to 17, according

to respondents, one in 100 (100-per-10,000) currently have an ASD diagnosis,

which is considerably higher than the previously (CDC) estimated rate of

1-in-150, (or 66-per-10,000).

But researchers were also told by parents that

60-per-10,000 children " had autism, Asperger's
