Let’s get some stats.

“Nearly half of adults with autism live with a family member and about one in five is unemployed, according to a new analysis1. Only 5 percent have ever been married. The findings suggest that many middle-aged adults with autism have little independence”

So here you go.

I have never committed to life, hence no interest in doing the mindless procreation thing.

1 in 5 is 20%, not the 80% often quoted.

The above stats are more plausible for people with HFA or Asperger’s.

It is often alleged that 1 in 5 autistic folks are EMPLOYED.

I would like to see stats from a much bigger & more recent/current study instead of a smalish one done in the 80s. I would also like to have those autism stats broken down by gender as well.

BTW guys I haven't been on much lately & I haven't felt like focusing on posts or messages that take a lot of effort & time. I intend to reply to things at some point when I know I can spend an extended amount of time on my computer.
