Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects nearly one percent of the world’s population.
Since it is a spectrum condition, all people diagnosed with the disability will need not necessarily face the same difficulties. Some people with autism can go on to lead comparatively independent lives while others may need specialist support throughout their lives. In some cases, autism manifests along with other problems like hearing impairments, behavior problems or gastrointestinal disorders. Since there are no specific tests which will tell you if a person has ASD, the condition sometimes ends up being misdiagnosed. According to the below infographic, more than 3.5 million Americans are living with an autism spectrum disorder today.
