Alarming New UK Study
I am trying to catch up on all of the latest news, and was very saddened to read this story come out of the United Kingdom. According to a Cambridge University study,
“A study has found that as many as one in 58 may have some form of the condition - well above the widely-accepted existing estimate of one in 100.
If so, it would mean that around 210,000 children under 16 in the UK have autism or a related disorder.”
When my son was first diagnosed, I remember reading that 1:210 children were diagnosed with a form of Autism, and in 4.5 years we’re seeing the numbers jump to 1:58? This is very sad news for everyone.
I haven’t found the original study yet, but if I do I will post the link here. Click Here to read article posted by DailyMail.co.uk.
