Recent public discussions regarding autism spectrum disorder diagnoses have been contentious, with recent statements from U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drawing criticism from many organizations representing individuals on the spectrum. Regardless, both sides can agree that diagnoses rates are on the rise and that support services can benefit most individuals.

Autism spectrum disorder diagnoses are on the rise, with one out of every 31 children now being diagnosed by the time they turn 8, according to recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In 2016, that number was one out of every 54. And in 2000, only one in 150 was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder by age 8.
The disorder can manifest in a number of ways and levels of severity. Some individuals are nonverbal and require daily care; others require much less intervention. However, support increases quality of life for most - and Home Care Advisory Group can help.
Home Care Advisory Group helps individuals with autism or families with an affected member apply for benefits from the OPWDD. The advocacy service helps clients navigate the application process, from finding necessary medical forms to assisting with application paperwork. Once approved, they can help patients and their families access benefits and services.
OPWDD provides qualifying individuals with services like daily living assistance, skill development, educational opportunities, employment resources, health and wellness support, and family resources. This allows both individuals with autism and their families to more fully engage in their communities.
“Success stories abound, showing the positive outcomes of OPWDD programs,” a company representative said. “Our commitment is to guide you through accessing these valuable resources.”
