[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a little boy who was born premature and I completely understand. Premature boys are much, much likelier than girls born early to be very damaged by their early birth -- that is, to suffer major mental and physical delays. And boys are much more likely to have developmental issues in general. They are also four times more likely to have autism, and about five times more likely to have ADHD. You aren't imagining it. They are even more likely to get childhood cancer. So, given that 1 in 54 kids is apparently on the spectrum, and if you break that down its more like 1 in 35 boys, nope, you aren't being crazy at all. It is the media's constant blaring of these facts and your own experiences that are making it seem like it is the majority of boys however. Clearly, the majority of boys are fine, despite these increased risks. [/quote]
