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.

What is incidence rate for autism?

Current diagnosis rate is 1 in 68 children in the US.Further statistics are harder to find, there's also question as to how correct the above statistic is. In theory Autism is under-diagnosed due to cultural and social factors such as stigma preventing parents seeking diagnosis, people avoiding diagnosis to avoid discrimination, and poverty preventing access to diagnosis. As it is we don't really know what the true rate of Autism is.

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 Autism ?

Autism is currently at a rate of 1 in 68 - this is according to the CDC and true as of July 2016.Note this is autism diagnosis, the rates of diagnosis have increased but there is absolutely no evidence that Autistic people are increasing in numbers - even if there were it could be explained simply by the fact Autistic people are more likely to have Autistic children. The idea that this figure is scary and evidence autism is on the increase is false, there is no so-called 'autism epidemic'.

How to solve the population problem in Egypt?

i think the government should increase tax for couples having more than one child . This will help reduce population in Egypt because it will discourage couples to have more children because it will cost more to raise children and will lead to a decrease in population because people will be discouraged to have more children and the population its self will decrease because less children will be born and with the current life expectancy rate the population will decrease which will help solve many problems like high food prices and high housing prices and will lead to an increase in income . as for increasing tax rate i suggest that if more than one child is born the government should increase tax on both couples by 10% for example the current tax rate in Egypt is 20% if two children are born the tax will be 30% and if four children are born it will be 40%


Is Autism autosomal?

Hi! That is a very difficult question to answer as there are a huge number of genes that cause Autism and there are likely some that haven't been discovered. There is a sex link with Autism (it affects boys at a rate of 1:42 and girls at a rate of 1:189) but despite this most scientists will try to make it easier to understand they will tell you that it is autosomal.


Can autism be inherited?

The current scientific information says that although they are yet to find the cause of Autism, it may be hereditary. This is due to the increased rate in familys, with someone affected by Autism, having another Autistic family member. It is also incredably common in identical twins for both to have Autism rather then just one. Scientists are currently trying to find what gene, if in fact it is a gene, that is causing Autism.
