Is there an increase in Autism in Children? There has been an increase in recent years in the number of children diagnosed with Autism. Is this a true increase in the condition? There are a number of theories, one being that there is more awareness and acceptance of the disorder and so parents are seeking treatment for their children. There is an increase in all races for children with autism. Another theory is that with the spectrum of Autistic Disorder becoming so wide and vague, many children that may have once been labeled as behavioral disorder are now falling within this spectrum. It may also be better reporting of the condition by health care providers.
