- Out of all the children diagnosed with autism, 75% of them are boys, while only 25% are girls.
- Autism is reported to occur in 45 to 60 out of every 10,000 children born.
- 80% of children with autism are also mentally retarded.
- There is no true cure for autism; however, there are many treatment programs that can help autistic people.
Direct Quote:
- "Autism is a rare, profound, and poorly understood mental disorer that severely impairs a person's abilities, particularly in the areas of language and social relations."
