Autism and ADHD Incidence

About 1 in 25 American boys ages 5 to 17 have a diagnosis of autism. Boys are four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with the condition. Diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: 14.5 percent of American boys, 8 percent of girls. The likelihood of an ADHD diagnosis decreases as family income increases.

  2. Something is wrong with his consolidated wordpress site and I haven't been bothered to figure out what. Some of his other websites are still up and running.
