6Research is Still Needed in Autism Community
Autism Affects 1 in 5 Children
Autism is a disease that affects one in five children between the ages of 3-17, and despite the abundance of research over the last several years, researchers have very little understanding of what actually causes Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Furthermore, the high rate of cases has led many to wonder whether or not the increase is due to underlying medical conditions that are also increasing, or whether the rate of diagnoses is simply increasing. Regardless, with very little hope in the way of pharmaceutical intervention, doctors are at a lack to know how to help.
