“Maybe there’s no such thing as Asperger’s.  Maybe all there is is what happens to you when you don’t fit in.”

            Jacob in House Rules by Jodi Picoult

​

Have you wondered how the CDC gathers information for their statistics to determine that 1:68 children have autism? The CDC implements the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. It is modeled after the CDC's Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program (MADDSP). The 1:68 ratio is based on the data collection in 2012 from 11 communities in the USA using health and special education records. A National Health Statistics Reports by the CDC in November 2015 was based on a recent phone survey reaching out to parents by the CDC. Its findings indicate at least 1:45 children have autism.  You can visit the following CDC websites for more information on the topic:
