There are many celebrities who are reported to have autism, including Dan Aykroyd, Daryl Hannah, and Courtney Love. However, the diagnosis of autism is not always publicly confirmed and so it is difficult to say with certainty who does and does not have autism. What is known is that autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. It is estimated that 1 in 54 children are diagnosed with autism in the United States.
