1 in 88 - Autism/ASD among Children of Military Families

By F. Yazbak, MD, FAAP and W. Gallup

In another sensational article, Ed Yazbak, of our scientific advisory board and Ray Gallup, our co-founder are revealing that the prevalence of autistic spectral disorders among children of active duty military personnel in the U.S. has reached an alarming 1 in 88 and that some 90% of these children are not getting ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis).

This is unacceptable and we ask all activists and communities nationwide - regardless of their cause - for unity so as to help these unfortunate and forgotten children. It is the least we can do for our brave men and women in uniform:

Warner, a military wife, activist, and mother is calling for immediate action! We request that everyone please support her courageous and tireless efforts:

"The CDC Says 1 in 150 Children Have Autism; We Say NO! Nonsense!"

UPDATE: US Department of Education 2007-2008 Autism Statistics

The number of children with Autism attending school has continued to increase since 2002 when a CDC study revealed a prevalence of 1 in 150 among 8 year old children. VAP has just obtained 2007-2008 figures for New Jersey and Minnesota and compared them with figures for school year 2001-2002:

New Jersey up 111% among 3-5 yr-old and 150% among 6-21 yr-old

Minnesota up 197% among 3-5 yr-old and 202% among 6-21 yr-old

Complete data for 2007-2008 will be published on the VAP web site in October when the U.S. Department of Education Annual Report to Congress is published:
