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.
