What is the prevalence of Autism?
How many people does Autism affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
Autism spectrum disorder is now 1 in 68

The current statistic is 1 in 64, but the actual amount is likely a lot higher. The current statistic only accounts for those diagnosed, and the diagnostic criteria don't account for how traits manifest in those who were assigned female at birth, LGBTQ+ people, and people of colour, so as the diagnostic criteria are changed to account for different types of people, the statistic will increase.
