One in 34 8-year-olds in Arkansas were identified with autism spectrum disorder in 2022. That’s according to data from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the Arkansas Autism and Development Disabilities Monitoring program.

Allison Hudson, co-investigator and project coordinator for the Arkansas Autism and Development Disabilities Monitoring program, spoke with Ozarks at Large's Matthew Moore about the findings.
