The United States Government confirmed today that autism is affecting 1 in 100 children now. Statistics show that boys are affected at a higher rate, and it is estimated that 1 in 58 boys are affected by autism.
So with these new numbers, is the Canadian or Prince Edward Island Government going to do more for families affected by Autism? What does the prevalence rate have to get to before it becomes an “urgent” issue?
I hope this serves as a wake up call!!!! This isn’t a problem that is going to go away. I can’t speak for anybody else, but I think this is pretty freakin’ scarey!
