Autism rates are higher in boys simply because more boys are diagnosed as Autistic than girls. It was believed that Autism was a 'boys disorder' but as understanding of Autism grows we're starting to realize that girls may be equally likely to be Autistic but that Autism symptoms display differently in girls so it isn't being picked-up as easily when a girl is Autistic.

Are more females having autism than studies actually say?
Yes, there are likely far more females with Autism than we know about.Take me for example - I was very severely effected as a child but at the time Autism was known as something that only effected boys so I was not diagnosed as a child despite being severely effected. There are many girls and women who are less severely effected, because their symptoms and characteristics present differently it's more difficult to spot Autism in those females. Socialization is also a factor, when girls are expected to be quiet and reserved it's less obvious when they are due to Autism, whereas with boys they are expected to be loud and bold so it's easier to spot Autism characteristics.
How many people die from Autism ?
None - autism is a neuological difference, there's nothing about autism that could cause death.
