Help us in recognizing those friends, family members, colleagues, and acquaintances that are living with ASD.ASD is a condition that affects 1 in 59 children in the US today and more than 70 million people worldwide. For most, it is a lifelong condition.
According to the CDC, ASD begins before a child reaches the age of 3. Autism is still a disorder that is being highly researched and it has been determined that there are likely many causes that contribute to the development of this disorder.

A couple of them include getting a Developmental Screening and a Comprehensive Diagnostic evaluation. It is best that, you discuss your options, treatment and screenings/evaluations with a physician and decide what is best for your family.
