Autism and Divorce.


It has been said that the divorce rate among parents of children with autism is approximately 80%, but a recent study conducted by the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore found this to be untrue. In fact, children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are only 1% less likely to have married biological or adopted parents than children who don't have an ASD.
