In 1970, only 1 child in 10,000 was diagnosed with autism. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, today the number is 1 in 59. Some experts think the change in prevalence could be caused by improved autism identification. We explore the path to a diagnosis, the types of interventional services, and what families can do to support their child as they wait for these services to begin.
