Concern over autism diagnosis
Mark Metherell
March 5, 2007
ONE IN every 120 school children in Australia suffers some form of autism, but many can go for years before getting the therapy and specialised schooling they need, a survey has found.
The new figures on the prevalence of autism, the mental affliction that is characterised by an inability to communicate or respond normally with others, have prompted calls for faster diagnosis and specialist schooling for the estimated 10,000 children with the condition.
It is estimated that 125,000 Australians, including adults, have an autism disorder.
