Who suffers from Autistic Spectrum Disorder?
Autistic Spectrum Disorder is a live-long condition found in all races and in all social classes. Autistic Spectrum Disorder is estimated to affect the lives of about 6 people out of every 1000 people. However there are those who believe that the true figure could be as high as 1 person in every 100 people. It occurs about 4 times more often in males than females (i.e. four males to one female). This proportion is also found in other developmental disorders such as Dyslexia.
