About 1 in 88 children were identified as having ASD in 2016. The prevalence of ASD is much lower than estimated since 2014.

2.  A diagnosis of ASD by an experienced professional is considered reliable at what age? 6 months 12 months 18 months 2 years

3.  Maturational-based motor theories state: There is a linear developmental pattern. There are certain predictable changes during neural maturation that are at the point of behavioral development.
