Stress & Neurodiversity: Understanding and Supporting Unique Minds

One in 36 children in the U.S. have autism. About 40% of autistic adults, and 8% of autistic children and adolescents, have had depression. Chronic and childhood stress is involved in ADHD development, and ADHD is highly comorbid with anxiety. No one knows for sure how many children with ASD are taking medications, but rough estimates are around 50 percent. One in 20 in the European Union have ADHD. More than 366 million adults worldwide have ADHD as of 2020.
