Autism Statistics Posted by Sylvia on Sunday, November 09, 2003 (22:52:45)

California is adding one new child every three HOURS with full-blown Level 1 DSM IV autism to the California Developmental Services system, according to a report just released by the agency.

During the 88 day period from January 4, 2001 to April 3, 2001, 700 new children were professionally diagnosed with DSM IV autism, a rate of 8 new children a day seven days a week, or one new child every three hours.

The 700 new children represents the largest quarterly increase in the history of California's developmental services system, and represents an increase of 107 more children than reported in the previous record highest quarter.

8 New Cases a Day

Historically throughout the late 1960's and through the 1970's, California was adding roughly 100-200 new cases A YEAR of autism to it's developmental services system, with autism accounting for 3% of the total number of new cases coming into the system which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy.

Since the beginning of the autism epidemic in 1979-80, California's increase of new cases of autism has exploded to the current level of 700 new cases EVERY THREE MONTHS, and autism now accounts for an unbelievable 37% of all the new cases coming into California's developmental services system.
