Autism is a growing disability among children. As a matter of fact, according to the National Institute of Health in 2010, three to six children in every 1,000 will develop autism before the age of three. However, autism is a livable condition, and many patients will often go on to pursue a normal life. Many colleges and organizations offer scholarships to students with autism. Most scholarships for autism students come from foundations that support and research the condition.
