Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incidence of autism is higher in males, with boys being about four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.

Answer: None of the above
 The statement "Autism affects about 1 out of every 10 children" is false. The actual incidence of autism is currently estimated to be around 1 in 54 children in the United States. The statement "The rates of autism have declined in recent years" is also false, as there has been no significant decrease in the rates of autism. The statement "Most individuals with autism are highly intelligent" is a generalization that is not necessarily true for all individuals with autism, as the condition can vary widely in its presentation and severity.
