About 1 in 6 preschoolers with autism get expelled from their day care program, new research finds.
On average, such kids are about 3 years old when they get kicked out.
While their parents may already harbor concerns, many of these kids “do not as yet have a diagnosis or label,” said study leader Jan Blacher, who added that many preschool teachers are not sufficiently trained to recognize the behaviors that often typify autism.
