Thank you for your recent participation in our Miami Walk Now for Autism Speaks event. As you may know, the CDC just came out with new prevalence numbers today stating that autism now affects 1 in 88 children (1 in 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls). This is a 78% percent increase in the last 6 years and a 10-fold (1000%) increase in reported prevalence over the last 40 years.
These numbers confirm what Autism Speaks has been saying for years: Autism is a public health crisis – an epidemic –that affects millions of individuals and their families.
