As many as 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism. Though the characteristics of each child vary, children with autism typically have difficulty communicating with others, lack some social skills, and perform unusual behaviors or rituals. Without effective treatment, they are unlikely to be able to learn in traditional school or pre-school settings.

Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children in the US.
