They looked at 900,000 children and they were looking for autism. They knew what it looked like and they were very, very precise about it. And They found an incident rate of 0.7. In other words, less than 1 for every 10,000 children today. Our most recent numbers are 1 in every 31 kids. It's probably actually much worse than that because California, which has the best collection System, is reporting one out of every 19 children, American children, as odds, one in every 12.5 boys.
