The nurse is leading a discussion about autism with a group of elementary school teachers. One teacher says, "I did not have an autistic child in my classroom for the first 10 years that I taught. I have had six children with autism in the last four years." How should the nurse respond?
◦ "I am surprised you did not have an autistic child in your classroom earlier in your career."
◦ "In some regions of the world about one person in 100 has some form of autism."
◦ "When lots of money is put into research, it encourages physicians to diagnose the disorder."
◦ "I think it has to do with the numbers of people using illicit drugs."
