I'd like to know how many individuals that are on the HFA/AS live in the US?
Thanks.

The rate is approx. 1%, so about 3 million in the US: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.html
Unfortunately that makes dating other auties/aspies challenging...

I would bet that it's probably more than 1%.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to something like 3-5%

The latest incidence is, actually, close to 2% (for all Autism Spectrum Disorders)
