Shock factor

These are the statistics of children diagnosed with autism through the years...
 

The numbers are scary...

The costs of supporting children on the spectrum are increasing...

There is no end in sight...

Until we get the right awareness and the access to services that we need, the numbers will continue to shock people...

1 in 50:  my children are included, the children of my friends, the children of some bloggers I know...how about you?

    I can't get over those numbers. I'm sure some of that is better awareness so better diagnosis, but that can't explain all of it. Wow. Thanks for continuing to spread the awareness!
