1.5 million Americans are said to have Autism. The current population of the United States is about 312,000,000. Deducting 1.5 million from 312,000,000 gives you about 310,500,000 Americans without Autism.

Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.
Of course they can. Children with Autism can reach whatever career they choose. Temple Grandin is a very famous person with Autism, and she has written many great books about Autism.
