Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has seen a significant rise in recent years, particularly amongst children. While the exact reasons for this increase are not yet fully understood, improved diagnostic procedures and increased awareness have contributed to better identification of autism in children.

While it can be understandably worrying for parents to hear this news, it's important to remember that early diagnosis and intervention can be beneficial for children with autism. With the right support, children with autism can develop skills and improve their quality of life. Additionally, many individuals with autism have thrived and found success in their personal and professional lives. So while parents should be aware and mindful of the potential for their child to have autism, they shouldn't be overwhelmingly worried as there are proven methods of support and treatment available.
