How Prevalent is ASD?

We are bombarded by acronyms these days.  ASD is not (but should be) one of the more well-known.  It stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder.  Let’s just take one segment of the U.S. population…8 year olds.  About how many of them would you expect to have ASD?  Nearly one in three!  Are you surprised?

Sadly, unlike many other childhood diseases this one is on the INCREASE.  This is all about how kids relate to others in a variety of social situations.  If not properly addressed, a young person could be headed for a life of deep depression as well as isolation.  That might not only affect them, but everyone with whom they interact.

This is something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.  Who better to do it than ASD specialist Dr. Steven Sussman?  He will help your child integrate into a group setting and work on that ASD to help them become more sociable.  Very little could be more important in this age of so much non-verbal communication.  Call Dr. Sussman for an appointment at his New Jersey or Staten Island office today.  That number is (908) 217-8106.
