Wow that guy was incredible!
The latest statistics are that 1 in 166 children are born with autism a year. Isn't that unbelievable? I work at a preschool and I do believe that would be an accurate statement. We see the kids at a very young age and sometimes the staff picks up on it before the parents do.The parents don't always realize they are autistic until they place them in a structured environment with alot of socialization and that's when it occurs to them that something isn't quite right. Alot of them end up being highly functional though in society.
