| The National Autism Indicators Report, about how race and income affect the health status of individuals with autism was recently published in the United States. To gain a better understanding of income disparities between children with and without autism and how those disparities affect health, data from the National Survey of Children’s Health 2017-2020 were evaluated. More children with autism in the US lived in poor (25% vs 19%) or near-poor (28% vs 22%) households and fewer in middle-income (26% vs 28%) or high-income (21% vs 31%) households compared with children without autism, respectively. |
