new YORK (Reuters) – about one of every 88 children has autism or a disorder linked in United States, which represents the highest estimation carried out so far, reported Thursday the country health experts.
Statistics of the centres for the Control and the prevention of diseases of United States ( CDC, for its acronym in English) implies an increase of 25 percent from the last analysis, of 2006, and double the rate reported in the 2002.
People with autism advocates took this apparent rise in the prevalence of the disease as an argument to reiterate his call for more research to identify its causes and more services for people affected by the condition.
