According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 36 children is identified as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD), based on estimates from the CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. ASD is reported to occur across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. It is nearly four times more common in boys than in girls. Additionally, about 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3 to 17 years were diagnosed with a developmental disability, as reported by parents during a study period from 2009 to 2017. These disabilities included autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), blindness, and cerebral palsy, among others.
