Autism Spectrum Disorder Defined
An Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a brain-based or neurobiological disorder of development.
ASD causes differences in the way the brain processes
ASD affects understanding and use of language to interact and communicate with people.

Big Idea
ASD is a brain-based disorder that results in differences in the way individuals understand and interact with their world.
![Page 8: School training module 1 autism defined and overview](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/547eca82b4af9faf158b56db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Affects of ASD on Individuals
ASD effects:
· the way a person relates to people, events, and objects in the environment.
· the way a person responds to sensory stimuli such as pain, hearing, taste, smell, etc.
· the way a person learns and thinks.

Why are more people diagnosed with autism today?
Better rules for diagnosis
Asperger Syndrome added to ASD in 1994
Increased awareness of ASD
People believe there are more services for an individual if the person has a diagnosis of ASD.
Wrong diagnosis
There are more persons with autism.

There are no two persons with autism exactly alike
“If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one
person
with autism.”
Stephen Shore, Adult with Autism

Quick Facts about Autism Autism is the most common developmental disability, affecting 1 in
110 births … most recent Dec. 2010 Center for Disease Control (CDC)
study
A decade ago, the rate was thought to be 4-5 in 10,000
4 children with autism are born in the USA every hour … 35,000 per
year
Autism is 4 times more common in boys than in girls.
Autism is often under-diagnosed in children – typically diagnosed
by age 3-7

Autism Facts Continued Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the
US, growing 10-17% per year
Cost of autism is estimated at $35-$90 billion – 90% of that is spent on adult services
Recent estimate (by Harvard) is that cost is $3.2M/person over their lifetime
The costs are expected to more than double in the next decade
