Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Recently I have been helping my son develop his game for autistics and I was putting together some facts on autism. Most of us know that the CDC rates for autism are 110. The pediatric report lists autism rate at 1 in 91. Autism is increasing at a rate of 10% a year. In the amish community autism rate is only 1 in 15,000. If you have a child with autism you there is a 1 in 20 risk that a 2nd child will have autism. If you have 2 kids with autism the rate for a 3rd child with autism is 1 in 3. Some states such as California have an eightfold increase in autism. 13 states have reported an infinite increase in autism. Autism is increasing worldwide. In some countries only classic autism is considered to be autism and they do not consider the autism spectrum. What does this mean? Right now there are not enough programs available to help all autistics. ABA training is expensive and not all states cover it. We need to get our elected officials aware of these facts and push for more funding to be made available for our kids and adults on the spectrum. Right now most programs are for children under the age of 18. Once a child turns 18 they are considered to be an adult and no longer can they get services. This is what makes me so angry. As the mother of an autistic daughter who is 27 it makes me so frustrated that there aren't any programs available to help her. This is what I have also written to my elected officials about. Don't they realize that autism is a lifelong disorder and they don't grow out of autism once they become adults. So what happens to those that have become adults? They are left to fend for themselves. Because of the sudden drop of all services many of these adults with autism also develop anxiety and depression. One report stated that 85% of adults with autism have developed anxiety and depression issues. I hope and pray that in the next few years that our elected officials wake up and start providing services for the life of our children. My daughter is in that 85%. Besides anxiety and depression she has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. She developed these things after she graduated from college. For her she struggles day to day. Despite all this she tries to help others by speaking at autism conferences, rallies, mental health conferences and special needs conferences. Our kids are special and unique and they deserve all the help they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I've developed The Asperger Child Inc in Florida and plan to expand to other states once I see how far it goes in FL.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 we will be moving into other states once it's established fully in Florida. My son is 12.5 with Aspergers with a BUNCH of other diagnosis, as it usually works. No one wanted to help me, so I decided it was time for me to step up to the plate and take charge of Florida. Then another state, and another, etc.From: Rob West <robwest0828@...>Autism and Aspergers Treatment Sent: Tue, June 15, 2010 1:48:20 AMSubject: Re: scary facts Great info !

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Here in Utah, there is the Utah Autism Coalition, I am a new member. They try to help families get treatment for their kids, and they are also involved with legistation. We are also teaming up with the Skull Riderz and planning a fundraiser to help raise funds and raise awareness in August in Ogden. I am hoping this will help in some way!  Jenn On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:40 AM, Baer <amandabaer76@...> wrote:  we will be moving into other states once it's established fully in Florida.
