Tuesday May 07, 2013
For the last Monday in Autism Awareness Month, an interview from the archives with Glen Finland, author of the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Pick Next Stop: A Memoir of Family, which concerns the parenting of an autistic son as he approaches adulthood. Today's Write The Book Prompt is inspired by statistics that I found on the website autism-society.org. That group has been recording a Fact of the Day each day this month. One such fact involved the incidence of ASDs (or autism spectrum disorders) through the decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control:
- Before 1990: 1 in 2,000 children were found to have some form of autism.
- Mid 1990s: 1 in 500
- Mid 2000s: 1 in 150
- 2009: 1 in 110, or about 1% of children, have an ASD
- 2012: 1 in 88
