I think it is about 1 in every 150 kids. however, it is more common in males, but i am not sure why.
It is FOUR times more likely in males, however Autism affects people of ALL racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
Luckily the amount of child with autism has gone down. It use to be 1 in 150 but, now it's 1 in 110. Not much of a difference but, it counts.
The Center of Disease Control's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network reported that the rate of autism in 2000 was 6.7 per 1,000 or 1 in 150. It is estimated that there are up to 560,000 individuals from 0-21 years old with an autism spectrum disorder in the United States (Center for Disease Control, 2007).
most people when born have a 1.0% chance of getting autism. though it is about 3 times more likely for males to get autism then females the average chance of having autism for all genders is 1.0%
There have not been any specific studies into the rate of autism/AS children of individuals with Asperger Syndrome. However, many studies into parents of autistic children have found that those parents are more likely to have autistic traits.
One case study report on a little girl with two Asperger's Syndrome parents can be found at the link below:
At 26 months, this girl was showing strong signs of autism but no overall developmental delay, suggesting that she, too, had Asperger Syndrome.
1 in every 150 children are diagnosed with autism now
Autism occurs in roughly 1 in every 110 children.
Fairly low; autism doesn't seem to be genetically connected. It is more probable that it is environmental factors, or that it is a variety of autoimmune disorders.
mabe it depends on if anyone likes you
Absolutely not, autism is a neuro-biological disorder that a person is born with. It is a neurological difference, meaning those born with autism, have brains that function differently that those who do not have autism. You cannot "catch" autism from others.
The chances of being born a twin is 1/33
No, autism is not a curse any more than any other normal human variation is a curse.Would you say that being black is a curse or being born a woman is a curse?If not then don't imply being Autistic is a curse by referring to autism as a curse.
A person does not develop autism. Autism is a neurological difference, as such it starts within the womb during the second trimester when the brain is being formed.
51.6% chance of being born male.
No, a person cannot 'get' Autism due to a defective thyroid gland or for any other reason. Autism is a neurological difference that occurs during development within the womb, people are born Autistic and do not become Autistic.
I really have no idea
A person does not 'develop' autism - a person is born autistic.
around 1 in 2000
Autism cannot be cured - Autism is a neurological difference, not an illness to be cured.A person is born Autistic and remains Autistic their entire life, just as someone who is born Caucasian cannot be 'cured' of being Caucasian. Autism is a neurological difference, you cannot get rid of Autism in a person without changing their brain, which is simply not possible.
I would say he has some form of autism.
No one has 'recovered' from Autism because Autism isn't something that happens to someone or something that can be recovered from. Autism is a neurological difference, you can no more recover from being Autistic than you can recover from being an African-American.
