DESCRIPTION:
In the United States, 1 in 31 children, or 3.2%, receive a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Notably, among children of Asian descent, the prevalence of ASD diagnosis is higher, with 5.4% of Asian children—equivalent to 1 in 19—being diagnosed with autism. Despite this higher prevalence, less than one percent of Asian American children diagnosed with ASD receive treatment.
