As of recent estimates, about 1 in 44 children in the United States are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which includes Asperger syndrome as part of its broader classification. This means roughly 2.3% of children are affected by ASD. However, the prevalence can vary by region and over time due to improved awareness and diagnostic practices. Asperger syndrome specifically is now considered part of the autism spectrum, rather than a distinct diagnosis.
