Utah boys are nearly seven times more likely than girls to have autism.

It is much more common in Caucasian, non-Hispanic children than in African-American, Hispanic, Asian and others.

Utah has the highest rate of late-onset autism.

Autism is Utah's fastest-growing serious developmental disability.
