How many autistic babies are born each year in the US?

Answer 1

I don't really know..... but, my friend does....

around 1 in every 166 kids have autism

actually that number has changed as of this year (2009) it is now 1 in 100 that is according to the Autism Society web site. My son has Aspergers and I blog about it...http://whatisaspergerssyndrome.blogspot.com/

Answer 2

The current numbers are at 1 in 150 kids are on the spectrum but someone in the local autism society told me that new studies have actually found the most current numbers to be closer to 1 in 90. It seems inconvievable to me that this has become such a huge issue but these are the results of research and study and they seem to be only going up in numbers.

Answer 3

That is a hard question to answer since autism isn't diagnosed at birth. Children with autism do not have special features as some other diagnosed disabilities do. However the statistics are that every twenty minutes a child is diagnosed wth autism.

Answer 4

It is completely impossible to say how many autistic babies are born each year in the US - firstly because there is no test for autism in babies, secondly because many autistic people do not receive diagnosis, and thirdly because many autistic people do not disclose their diagnosis or allow their diagnosis to go onto their records.

Currently diagnostic rates in children in the US is at 1 in 88 children - as a note this does not mean that autism is on the rise, this means that more children are being diagnosed due to increased awareness of autism and better diagnostics.

Answer 6

Latest CDC figures put autism diagnosis in children at 1 in 68. However these statistics are flawed in that they collect data from small areas which may include areas with higher consentrations of autistic people, also these figures only count those who are diagnosed so may miss many autistic people.
