Autism by the Numbers aims to foster insights into the systems that serve autistic individuals, spotlight the accessibility of supports and services, and enable advocacy.
, Mr. Wargo feels that ABTN may help address the needs of these increasing numbers."Our hope is that Autism by the Numbers will support the autistic community in mapping out a path for their future," Wargo shared."We have also developed several programs at Autism Speaks to help reduce wait time as part of quality improvement for clinical care.""A child's most dedicated and supportive advocate is usually a parent," Woodman advises.

Suppose families live in a state without access to early intervention or a proper doctor who understands autism. In that case, Amanda Woodman, Clinical Director of"A child's most dedicated and supportive advocate is usually a parent," Woodman advises."Find a pediatrician who will listen to your concerns, provide you with quality care, including developmental evaluation, and support you in finding resources for your child.
Total acceptance of autistic people – beyond simple awareness – should be the societal standard. Initiatives like Autism by the Numbers aim to recognize this and the unique needs of the autistic community. Still, we must stand together to truly deliver opportunities that celebrate the full spectrum of individuality and foster real inclusion. Together, we can achieve a world where every autistic person can reach their full potential, just as any neurotypical can.
