	Autism Statistics: Autism Statistics
	Posted by Sylvia on Sunday, November 09, 2003 (22:19:56) According to Autism Society of America, the most cited statistic is that autism occurs in 4.5 out of 10,000 live births. This based on large-scale surveys conducted in the United States and England. In addition, the estimate of children having autism vary considerably depending on the country, ranging from 2 out of 10,000 in Germany to as high as 16 out of 10,000 in Japan. Possible reasons for the discrepancy rates may be due to differing diagnostic criteria, genetic factors, and/or environmental influences. In addition, incidence that Autism Society of America gives is that autism is three times more likely to affect male than females. This gender difference is not unique to autism since many development disabilities have a great male to female ratio. Because cure for autism has not been founded, some specialists are reluctant to give diagnose of autism. They fear that it will cause parents to lose hope. As a result the may apply a more general term that simply describes the childÃ¯Â¿Â½s behaviors or sensory deficits. "Severe communication disorder with autism-like-behavior," multi-sensory system disorder," and sensory integration dysfunction" are some of the terms that are used. Children with milder or fewer symptoms are often diagnosed as having Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)(Autism, 21). Harvard Mental Health explains that under a federal law, the individuals with disabilities Education Act, children with autism and other developmental disorders are eligible for education appropriate to their needs from the age of three. The law requires an evaluation and an individual education plan (IEP), with a reevaluation at least every three years. There are a wide variety of arrangements, depending on the childÃ¯Â¿Â½s need, from mainstreaming and regular classrooms for the most capable children to private residential programs for the most severely affected.

	Monday, March 28, 2005 (17:02:45) (Score: 1 ) Re: Autism Statistics My son goes to our local school where he is apart of the ppcd program. It has been a slow progress. But, my son has progressed alot since they put him in a class with "regular" kids. He has qualified for summer school. That ends in June. I am concerned that this summer he is going to re-gress because he is going to be out of school for a month and half. I have learned that consistancey is the main key for his success. I would like to know if other parents have the same problem as I do with the regression and what they do in the summer time when schools out? I know kids need a break from school but, what are my options for him to stop the regression in the summer. I do not have the skills of the therapist that he sees and it bothers me and our family that every year he has to start all over again in the routine.I believe year round school would be more beneficial for children with autism. And I would like to know if there are any financial assisted programs out there that would be able to help our children? Considering our only resources financially is social security.Anyone with information of options would be very helpful. Thank you.
