A number that changes how you see a classroom.
Boys are identified with autism about three and a half times as often as girls. In the most recent CDC count, about one in twenty boys was identified.
That gap does not mean girls are not there. It means too many girls are missed, or found years later than they should have been.
Every child deserves to be seen early, and seen clearly. That is the work we show up for, every day.
