Background & Research

Background & Research

According to the 2019 CHSCY, 1 in 50 (or 2.0%) Canadian children and youth aged 1 to 17 years were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD usually have difficulties in social interaction and communication. Their ability to communicate with others can vary substantially from person to person.  However, many children with ASD desire friendship and seek opportunities for social interaction.
