According to The National Institute of Health 1 in every 10,000 children were on the spectrum a decade ago. This year they reported the numbers to be 1 in every 150.
Researchers are baffled, and some explain it away by saying it might be due to over diagnosing while others say it is due to specific vaccines.
Whatever the reason, it is essential that we do whatever we can to help our children.
Early diagnosis and early intervention are important.
Yet anyone can be helped with the right treatments.
ABA alone is not enough. We must get systemic cooperative help from all who are involved with the child.
If your child has been diagnosed, contact us so we can help you find the help you need.
