What is the current rate of children born with autism in the US?
New Jersey. New Jersey autism rates appear to be the highest in the country reaching. According to recent statistics released by the CDC, 1 in 23 boys are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders within the state. Coincidentally, or maybe not so coincidentally New Jersey is known to have the most available resources and autism treatment programs in the country. It is unclear whether the concentration of autism services is a result of a larger autistic population in need of those services, or if, at least in part, the autistic population is larger due to those services. Many families have moved to New Jersey in order to seek the best and most varied resources for their children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.

Are there more Autistic People today than there was before?
No, there's no evidence to suggest that there are more Autistic people now than before.Consider that Autism was not a diagnosis until the 1980's, various changes in diagnostic criteria such as the introduction of Asperger Syndrome in 1994 and increased awareness of autism has increased diagnosis. Currently 1 in 68 children are diagnosed as Autistic, which has increased from previous figures but this simply means more children are being diagnosed - not that there are more of us!As it is autism is under-diagnosed, even in the US and UK it is under-diagnosed and in less developed countries it is significantly less likely to be diagnosed - thus we have no idea how many autistic people there are, and it's impossible to determine if there is a growing number of autistic people.

How is asperger's syndrome different from autism diagnosis?
There really is no difference between Autism and Asperger Syndrome, thus why the two diagnosis have now been merged - many doctors simply diagnosed Asperger Syndrome to avoid stigma of Autism. The only real difference was that Autistic children showed developmental delays, however that in itself does not mean that Asperger Syndrome was a seperate disorder just that different children develop at different rates.
Is autism overdiagnosed?
Yes, it is heavily over-diagnosed. The fact is autism is not a disease. Contrary to what everyone else think, it must not be treated like a disease. We have treated children using unique methods and have had complete results. Completely back to normal, over time of course. Many a time it happens a person/child is experiencing certain conditions but those which have no medical evidence of existing. It is wrong to categorize it generally. Every autistic person needs his/her own approach and what worked for one doesn't likely work for another. There is autism and there is clinical autism. The latter may be diagnosed and treated but not the former. It is more complex.
