For the first time, a larger share of Black and Latino children than white kids were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders in 2020, according to a CDC report.
Hundreds of years after Beethoven’s death, researchers using DNA from strands of his hair have found clues about what killed him, according to a new study.The increase is from “this rush to catch up,” said David Mandell, a University of Pennsylvania psychiatry professor.
Scientists believe genetics can play a role, but there is no known biological reason why it would be more common in one racial or ethnic group than another. To estimate how common autism is, the CDC checks health and school records in 11 states and focuses on 8-year-olds, because most cases are diagnosed by that age. Other researchers have their own estimates, but the CDC’s estimate is widely considered by experts to be the gold standard.
