Nation Autism Indicators Report: High School Students on the Autism Spectrum

This report by Drexel University's A.J. Drexel Autism Institute the highlights the challenges facing minority youth and those from low-income households. Autism occurs in children from all backgrounds. But the impacts of autism are not felt equally across all groups.

Minority youth often face obstacles accessing needed care and experience worse outcomes in many realms.
