Map of Autism Rates at Jersey Schools

This map produced by Fighting Autism shows the steady rising rates of Autism in New Jersey over the course of three years.  It is frightening for any New Jersey parent to see how quickly the rates are rising. There is massive cause for concern, and this is an issue that is not going away. The rates in Bergen County, where I grew up, indicate that 1 in 105 students between 7-9 years old have autism, compared to 1 in 1 of 152 in Gloucester County, where I live now.
