CDC: Autism A Public Health Concern

March 10th 2011 19:14
According to the CDC, Autism is an URGENT PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN, as more and more people continue to be diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition, there is increased concern in communities throughout the United States regarding this problem and a continued demand for services to treat those diagnosed with an ASD. All of this, the CDC states, is indicative of a need for a "coordinated and serious national response."

However, the CDC has not declared an epidemic, as it is not clear at this point how much of this increase in cases of autism is due to better defining and diagnosis of ASDs. It also indicates that a "true" increase in the number of individuals with an ASD cannot be ruled out. It is believed that the increase in the number of people diagnosed with an ASD is likely due to a combination of the aforementioned factors.


Has the number of individuals diagnosed with an ASD in the United States reached epidemic proportions?
You be the judge.
