Data published by the CDC indicates that the number of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in parts of the U.S. grew from 4 per 1,000 in 2004 to 8 per 1,000 in 2006. Health officials attribute this growth to an increased prevalence of these disorders as well as improvements in diagnosis.

While the exact cause of autism remains unknown, early diagnosis and treatment are critical in helping autistic children reach their full potential. This is because the human brain undergoes rapid growth and change during the first few years of life. Intervention during this phase of brain development can greatly influence cognitive and intellectual abilities.
