Need info on prevalence of "traits without disorder"

Aka. sub-clinical autism. A quick look on wikipedia suggests 25% of those with symptoms of pdd-nos "more closely resemble those of autistic disorder, but do not fully meet all its diagnostic signs and symptoms. This is because either the symptoms were recognized at a later age or because they were too young or have cognitive deficits that are too severe to properly identify all the symptoms of autism that they may have.". This is the group I would fit into and to be honest I'd argue this is actually the most common type among the general population.

So roughly how common?

CDC says 200/10000 kids have it, so we need to do the math.
