One in every 68 children is diagnosed with having Autism Spectrum Disorder. The proportions are 5 boys diagnosed to every girl; however, new studies show that many more girls are also autistic, but have learned to cover their problems dealing with society.
Autism is NOT a disease. There is no special cure. We need to accept people who suffer from autism into our society - as much as they are willing to participate. Welcome people who perceive things differently - don't shun them!
