Why is autism prevalence data important?

Accurate data on autism helps us see the full picture—who is being diagnosed, when, and where—equips policymakers, educators, service providers, families, and communities with the insights they need to act. The Minnesota Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (MN-ADDM) project, in partnership with Minnesota Act Early, is part of a national network working to uncover trends in autism and other developmental disabilities across the United States.
