Autism Support
The Autism Spectrum
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 54 children is on the Autism Spectrum. We hear the term Autism Spectrum often, but what exactly does it mean?
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association grouped five neurodevelopmental disorders into a single diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Before that, they were five distinct disorders:
- Autistic Disorder
- Asperger Syndrome
- Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
- Rett Syndrome
- Pervasive Developmental Disorder
Today, Autism Spectrum Disorder is categorized by the amount of support an individual will need:
- Level 1: Requiring Support
- Level 2: Requiring Substantial Support
- Level 3: Requiring Very Substantial Support
ABA Centers of America is an ABA therapy treatment center for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Many families find they are not sure what to do after receiving a diagnosis. Our goal with this page is to create a resource center with websites and information about autism that will guide families at every stage of development as well as adults with autism.
