Stats for Marquette County and or the U.P.?
Does anyone know any autism stats for our area? I called the Marquette County Health office yesterday and they had nothing. Am curious, and it could prove useful information down the road, to know just how many people are affected by autism in this area. Any statistics at all would be a start, but wondering how many school age children, how many diagnosed locally, how many diagnosed down state or Wisconsin, how many receive services through Medicaid, how many don't. There's a lot I don't know...

Yea not sure,, I think the number is increasing,
ReplyDeleteI am wondering who diagnosed your daughter and if that would be a good place to start inquiries? I am thinking pediatric Specialists, Dr. Nidiffer, though he did not diagnose my son he was our doc when we first moved back up here...We switched to Dr. Frantz...also inquiring with Pathways might is another thought...but with confidentiality such an issue I wonder who might already have or what it would take to get authorization to gather such information...
ReplyDeleteI am also interested in those stats...especially given the recent research suggesting 1 in 110 children according to the CDC...
