Autism Diagnoses in the U.S. Surge 175% in Last Decade, Tripling Among Kids and Young Adults, 450% Increase Among 26-34 Year Olds
Oct 31, 2024, 12:15 PM
A recent study published in JAMA Network Open reveals a significant increase in autism diagnoses in the United States, with rates rising by 175% from 2011 to 2022. The most pronounced growth occurred among young adults aged 26 to 34, where diagnoses surged by 450%. Additionally, the data indicates that autism rates have nearly tripled among children and young adults over the past decade, with notable increases among female children and adults, as well as among certain racial and ethnic minority groups. The findings underscore the need for expanded support for patients and families affected by autism, as the rising rates present challenges for healthcare systems and social services.
