CDC States that 1 in 36 Kids Have Autism — Critics Slam Agency’s Failure to Investigate Causes

One in 36 (2.8%) 8-year-old children — 4% of boys and 1% of girls — have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), based on an analysis of data from 2020, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The latest findings, reported in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, show an increase from the last report, which found 1 in 44 8-year-olds (2.3%) had autism in 2018.

Since the CDC started collecting the data, prevalence estimates have skyrocketed from 1 in 150 in the 2000's, to today’s estimate of 1 in 36 children in 2020. The trend has been increasing for decades. Autism prevalence in the 1980s, which was 1 in 1,000 children, already represented a tenfold increase over the condition’s estimated prevalence in the 1970's of 1 in 10,000.

A series of reports published over the last 12 months predicted a massive growth in the ASD treatment industry over the next several years due to rising global rates of autism and increasing investment in pharmaceutical research and development.
