It's relative. It depends on your opinion about what constitutes a high rate. The vast majority of people do not have autism or Asperger's Syndrome. It occurs in less than 1% of the population. There is a higher rate of cerebral palsy, but a lower rate of multiple sclerosis.

What percentage of people have aspergers?
At the moment it's quite difficult to say as scientist yet don't know all about aspergers and autism. Also, many Experts, Scientists, Psychologists Psychiatrists etc. will believe that there are more persons with aspergers than diagnosed with it, so this also would effect the percentages.

Are Classic autism and low functioning autism the same thing?
actually now classic autism, low functioning autism, aspergers, pdd, and pdd nos are all grouped with one label : autism spectrum disorders. but i think i know what you are trying to learn and i will explain the best i can. autism is comprised of three areas : social skills, verbal skills, and behavior. classic autism is diagnosed in a child/person who exhibits symptoms in all three areas. aspergers is sometimes called "little genious syndrome" because the children/adults with this are often quite bright and have a huge vocabulary and have shown very little if any delay in speech. pdd and pdd - nos (pervasive developmental disorder and pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified ) exhibit symptoms in some of the 3 areas but not enough to diagnose either classic autism or aspergers. that brief explination is a lot of why the new medical guide has lumped everything together into autism spectrum disorders. now back to your point.... low functioning or high functioning is not necessarily contingent upon the diagnosis of the "type" of autism (classic, aspergers, etc) but rather how severe the symptoms are for that individual. for example my son has classic autism if we are using the old terms... he is rather high functioning because his symptoms are not really severe. he does speak, though it is very far behind where he should be for his age, he does have some amount of social skills, again very delayed, and he does exhibit behaviors such as spinning, not making eye contact, lining things up, hand or arm flapping, but they are not constant throughout the entire day... so they are not extremely severe... hope that helps... Reply:- Thanks. That heped me loads. I know they've changed it now; but I still like to know how it was. It didn't make sense what classic autism was. Sometimes it seemed severe. Othertimes not. I didn't undrestand what type of autism I have. Thanks to your reply; I now think I have Classic Autism. ***glad i could help! my 5 year old bounces between classic autism and pdd depending on who you are talking to about him... :) we have gotten both diagnosis from 2 different doctors... that is pretty confusing! but at any rate i am really glad i could help you!

Is Asperger's Syndrome more common in twins?
I have not seen any studies on whether twins are more likely to have an autism spectrum disorder than single-birth children. It is possible that no one has done research on this. If one identical twin has an autism spectrum disorder, there is approximately a 90% chance that the other identical twin will. They might not have the same autism spectrum disorder or they might have the same disorder at different levels of severity. Many studies show the chance that they both have it if one twin does as somewhere between 82% and 97%. If the twins are fraternal (non-identical) twins and one has an autism spectrum disorder, the other has about the same chance of having an autism spectrum disorder as non-twin siblings do, which is greater than the chance of having an autism spectrum disorder in a family that does not have any history of it.
