According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism spectrum disorders are the fastest‐growing disability, estimated at approximately 1 in 68 people in the United States. ASD is almost five times more common among males (1 in 42) than among females (1 in 189). Service providers are likely to have experienced a rapidly growing population of students with ASD on their campuses due to better diagnoses and earlier interventions.
