New Autism Prevalence Findings in Minnesota
New data from the Minnesota-Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (part of a 16-state CDC network) shows that 1 in 28 (3.6%) 8-year-old children in Minnesota have autism. The CDC found that, on average, 1 in 31 (3.2%) children were identified as having autism in communities where the ADDM Network tracked prevalence in 2022, an increase from 1 in 36 in 2020. This estimate does not represent the entire population of children in the United States.
