On Dec. 18, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring April 2 World Autism Day.
You mayask yourself, what merits this particular disability its very own day? Simply put, autism or (ASD) will be diagnosed in 1 out of every 68 children in the United States (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls).
There are currently more than 3 million people living in this country who fall somewhere on the autism spectrum, according to a 2014 study in JAMA Pediatrics.
The diagnosis of autism or ASD is more prevalent than diabetes, cancer and AIDs combined.
Autism does not discriminate and is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups.
Autism can present itself with a myriad of symptoms and ranges from mild to severe.
Perhaps one of the biggest problems facing people with autism is their inability to communicate effectively. Sadly enough, regardless of the advancements made in recent years, there is no cure for ASD, only treatment.
