The authors found that while autism prevalence is rising across all demographics, the increases are particularly pronounced among racial and ethnic minorities, such as a 315 percent rise in Hispanic children. This indicates a troubling trend but also suggests improvements in accessibility to diagnosis in these communities.
Important progress is being made, as the inequity in autism diagnosis seems to be decreasing, yet disparities remain in evaluating and accessing services for these populations.
