A 2007 Centers for Disease Control report found
that 1 in 150 children in America today have an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
It is estimated 1.5 million Americans and their families are now affected.
Autism is the most prevalent developmental disability, affecting more children
than cerebral palsy, down syndrome, hearing loss, and vision impairment. In
fact, more children will be diagnosed with autism than with childhood leukemia,
diabetes, and cancer combined.
Montana ASA was formed
to provide resources, support and fundraising for education and awareness while
improving the quality of life for Montana children, adults and families affected
by Autism Spectrum Disorders. |
