CDC: Autism rates on the rise, especially among minorities
A new report released by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Thursday shows autism is on the rise and rates are increasing quickly for minorities. The new findings show in 2020, 1 out of every 36 children in the U.S. was diagnosed with autism. That?s up from 1 in 44 children in 2018 and 1 in 150 children in 2000. The numbers may sound concerning, but one doctor tells FOX 5's Jacqueline Matter more diagnoses may stem from better awareness and screening.
