Childhood Neurological Disorders on Journey to Self
This week on Journey to Self we are discussing childhood neurological disorder.
Findings from the National Health Interview Survey showed that an estimated 5.7 per 1,000 school-age children had autism. Findings from the National Survey of Children’s Health showed that an estimated 5.5 per 1,000 school-age children had autism. Together, these surveys suggest that at least 300,000 4- to 17-year-old children had autism in 2003–2004.”~ CDC Website
