Based on recent research, autism prevalence is about 1 in 31 U.S. children (3.2%) by age 8. Studies also show that older parents, particularly fathers, may have a higher likelihood of having autistic children.

For families, early support is key—organizations like the Autism Society of North Carolina offer webinars like *"After the Diagnosis"* to guide parents. The CDC also provides resources on parenting tips, transitions, and healthcare for autistic individuals at different life stages.

Aging with autism requires specialized care, so a team approach with doctors, therapists, and family is recommended. For practical parenting strategies, Triple P suggests focusing on structured routines and understanding your child’s unique needs.
