Rising autism rates now affect 3% of children, says CDC report

New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed climbing autism rates among children.

In 2022, a surveillance program called The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network began monitoring children aged 4 to 8 across 15 U.S. states, focusing on multiple benchmarks of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Among 8-year-old children, researchers found that one in 31 children — more than 3% of America's kids — had ASD.
