Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—or autism—is a broad term used to describe a group of neurodevelopmental conditions typically characterized by differences in communication and social interaction.
April is National Autism Awareness Month and aims to help you learn more about the fastest-growing developmental disorder in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 44 children has autism, and more than 5 million young people and adults have been diagnosed with ASD. Today, autism is usually diagnosed in early childhood, explaining why autism rates in children are generally higher than those in adults. There isn’t a cure for autism, as it’s a lifelong condition. Still, an early diagnosis can improve the quality of life for those with autism and positively impact their careers and relationships.
