Approximately 6.4 Million PeopleThe world population in 2004 was 6.4 billion people. As the Down syndrome rate is about 1 per 1000 births, this gives us an estimate of 6.4 million people who had Down syndrome in 2004. As Down syndrome people have a lower life expectancy than other people, this may be a slightly high estimate.(Please see the related links for sources.)
It's estimated that about 200,000 people in the US suffer from Tourette's syndrome in 2009, which would be about 6.5% of the population.

From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.
