i recently learned autism is actually a spectrum disorder, with many characteristics like social skills
Really?  did not know that. I knew that there is usually a presence of repetitive behavior. 
The CDC estimates autism's prevalence as 1 in 59 children in the United States, 1 in 37 boys and 1 in 151 girls.
That is high! Do you agree with proposed theories that vaccines can cause it? 
i do not believe that one bit, there have been scientific papers dedicated to debunking it, but what hs been proven is parents older than 35 have a higher chance of having kids with autism
DO you believe that both educational interventions and medical management are needed to help people with autism?
yes because medical interventions can only help to some extent, the person needs to be able to live in a society which is unfortunately not centered around their condition
I know that if you have a child it is very important to look for signs of autism around ages two and three. This is when they arise, the symptoms.
