Autism estimates have just jumped to 1 in 91 births. That's more than one percent of kids!
Autism rates are climbing rapidly in the US, and nobody knows why or how to stop it. What I find so scary is that by the time I have kids, this rate will probably be even higher. Get educated!
Additionally, it is also true in Belgium that boys are much more likely to be diagnosed than girls. I worked with about 50 kids last week, and only 3 of them were girls. It's a similar ratio with the adults.
Please let me know if you have questions or want to get involved or help.

(Dad) 94% male? Is that the ratio elsewhere? (I'll check the link.)
