Autism Prevalence

Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2023)

1 in 36 children in the U.S. have autism, up from the previous rate of 1 in 44.
1 in 45 adults in the U.S. have autism
In the U.S., about 4 in 100 boys and 1 in 100 girls have autism.
Boys are nearly 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.
Autism prevalence is lower among white children than other racial and ethnic groups:
- White – 2.4%
- Black – 2.9%
- Hispanic – 3.2%
- Asian or Pacific Islander – 3.3%

These changes reflect an improvement in outreach, screening and de-stigmatization of autism diagnosis among minority communities.

*The CDC autism prevalence estimates are for 8-year-old children across 11 monitoring sites in the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network in 2020.
