| Daily Bulletin AU Verified
Thinking about autism has evolved. Just three decades ago, autism was a relatively rare and clearly defined condition, diagnosed in people with limited verbal language and highly repetitive behaviour. Today, autism is diagnosed along a spectrum of a wide range of abilities, from people who may require 24-hour care to those able to live independently. Around 290,900 Australians are diagnosed with autism, a 42% increase from an estimated 205,200 in 2018.

Around 290,900 Australians are diagnosed with autism, a 42% increase from an estimated 205,200 in 2018. For many people and their families, this has been an overwhelmingly positive change that has meant recognition of difference, and access to support they previously didn’t have.
