As it is we don't really know what the true rate of Autism is.
What are the differences between male and female autism symptoms and how do they impact diagnosis and treatment?
Research suggests that male and female individuals with autism may exhibit different symptoms, with females often displaying more subtle or atypical signs.

Understanding these gender differences is crucial for improving the accuracy of diagnosis and tailoring interventions to better meet the needs of individuals with autism.
How can autism be dealt with?
It depends on which component of autism you are refering to. A deficit in language, socialization and language are typically present in order to get a diagnosis of autism. I am a behavioral interventionist and work with children with autism daily. I would highly recommend researching Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to gain more information. Essentially, ABA addresses each component of autism from a behavioral perspective and has been clinically shown to have significant effects on the treatment of children with autism. This is by far the most widely used method (behaviorally speaking) for children with autism.

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.
