We need to provide more support and ensure that they are provided the services needed from early intervention to adult transition and throughout the entire lifespan," said Autism Speaks President and Chief Executive Officer Keith Wargo.
"Based on the 4-year-old report that looked at 'suspected ASD' cases, more White children than other minority groups had higher suspected ASD cases," said Andy Shih, Ph.D., Interim Chief Science Officer of Autism Speaks."A lower proportion of suspected ASD cases had a co-occurring intellectual disability.
