Autism Speaks Truck
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls.

Less than a decade ago, autism was typically diagnosed at ages 3 or 4. Through the Autism Speaks-funded Baby Siblings project autism is now routinely diagnosed at 24 months with many diagnosed at 18 months. Early diagnosis leading to early intervention is critical to gain maximum benefit from existing therapies.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without the normal control. About 85 percent of breast cancers originate in the mammary ducts, while about 15 percent arise in the milk ducts. Cancerous tumors in the breast usually grow very slowly so that by the time one is large enough to be felt as a lump, it may have been growing for as long as ten years.
