An estimated 1 out of 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States

We received Daughter's diagnosis today.

She has mild Autism Spectrum Disorder or high-functioning autism.

There are three levels of severity, which equate to the amount of support a child needs in order to function well in everyday life.

Level one ASD (mild) means she requires minimal support. 
But it doesn't mean she is not autistic.
