One reason for the higher rate of diagnoses may be that there is more awareness of autism within the general public.
Researchers from Rutgers University focused on diagnosis rates of 8-year-olds in the New York/New Jersey metro area.
There are also better tools for diagnosing autism and more education about it. Doctors have gotten better at identifying cases of autism without intellectual disability – that is, children who have average or above-average IQs who display characteristics of autism, like impaired social skills. Those cases are traditionally less obvious to parents, teachers and doctors than cases in children with intellectual disabilities., one in 54 children had been diagnosed with autism by age 8 in 2016, compared to one in 150 children in 2000.
