About Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Spectrum Disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders that are estimated to occur in 1 of every 88 children.  They are regarded as "spectrum disorders" because their symptoms and characteristics can occur in an array of combinations and with varying degrees of severity.  These disorders are much more common in boys than in girls, and are unaffected by racial, ethnic, socio-economic, lifestyle, or educational factors.

If your loved one exhibits symptoms of autism or another neurodevelopmental disability, please contact your family care physician or the Center for Autism.
