The numbers are not the story.
Autism prevalence is often quoted as one in a hundred, one in seventy, one in forty four, depending on who you ask and where they are counting. The numbers vary. They are not the story.
Autism prevalence is often quoted as one in a hundred, one in seventy, one in forty four, depending on who you ask and where they are counting. The numbers vary. They are not the story.
The numbers have been moving upward for decades. Diagnosis has broadened, awareness has grown, clinical tools have improved, and more adults are finding themselves in a frame that was previously applied only to children. None of this means more people are Autistic than used to be. It means the counting has caught up, slightly, with the population.
