Based on ADDM Network data, the IQ scores in the range of intellectual disability have shown an increased reduction in comparison with autistic children with higher intellectual abilities.
.
.
Formerly, autism statistics by year have shown that between 2000 and 2002, around half of autistic children had IQ scores in the range of intellectual disability, whereas the percentage has dropped in 2006–2008 to 40%. Furthermore, in 2010–2012 research has shown that less than one-third of autistic children had higher IQ. Source Autism Speaks⠀

Happy Friday! Sesame Street spoke with Good Morning America to highlight their brand new content featuring Julia and the special relationship she shares with her brother, Samuel. Julia, the first Muppet with autism to appear on the show, made her debut on "Sesame Street" in 2017.

"Siblings of children with autism are often the unsung superheroes in a family," said Kama Einhorn, senior content manager at Sesame Street Workshop. "You see Samuel in action, but you see a range of who he is. He's not just this perfect helper. He has a life and he has conflicts, but you also see him being an extraordinary support to Julia, having a really important role in the family. . .as everyone in the family does, including the family dog, Rose."

"Fluffster Kerfuffle" premieres April 6.

Thank you to @disneyjunior series Fancy Nancy, for its episode debuting today, entitled “Nancy’s New Friend” which features a character who is autistic. In this episode, Nancy tries to make a new friend in Lionel’s cousin, Sean, who doesn’t respond to her in the way she expects.

Fancy Nancy co-producer/head writer, Krista Tucker told Deadline, “Lionel explains that Sean is autistic and this means his brain works differently than others.” The episode features Lionel giving Nancy tips on how to better approach Sean and the two slowly begin to connect.⠀

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) aims to put a spotlight on the hurdles that people with autism and others living with autism face every day. As a growing global health issue owing to its increasing exposure in the press and common knowledge, autism is an issue that is only gaining more understanding and knowledge of children and adults who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

What’s more, #WAAD goes one step further to celebrate the unique talents of those with autism, while putting a huge focus on the warm embrace and welcome that these skills deserve through community events around the globe.

Share your story, and don’t forget to tag @autismsocietyofhawaii so we can highlight you throughout the month.⠀
