 In 2018 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated  about one in 59 children have ASD. That's an increase from one in 68  children identified in the previous estimate released two years earlier.

The  findings were based on data from 11 U.S. communities in 2014. They are  part of the CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring  Network — or ADDM — which tracks the prevalence of the disorder in  8-year-olds every two years.

Ken Winn, the president of the Colorado Association for Behavior  Analysis (COABA), said he has been in talks with providers and state  lawmakers to increase pay rates to cover services, but that change isn’t  coming nearly fast enough. He said Colorado is in a “dire crisis” when  it comes to care for autism, with 10 providers either closing or leaving  the state within the last 18 month.
