Popis: The understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has changed over the past generation, with recognition of a broader spectrum of severity and a wide diversity of clinical manifestations and co-occurring conditions. Estimates of ASD prevalence in the United States have increased from 2 to 4 per 10,000 in the 1960s to 1 in 54 today. Early screening and diagnosis followed by intensive speech and behavioral therapies can make a substantial difference in outcomes for children with ASD.
