Answer
From , here are the main stats and claims repeatedly highlighted about the rise in autism diagnoses:
- Historical rate often cited: about 1 in 50,000 children roughly 30 years ago
- Current rate referenced: about 1 in 36–38 children today
- Argument: this jump is too large to be explained by “better diagnosing” alone
- Emphasis that most families report no autism history in parents or grandparents despite today’s high rates
What are you planning to use these stats for (presentation, debate, social post, etc.)?
