Q: How common is autism and at what age does it start?

Answer:

Autism affects about 1 in 150 people in US.

Autism starts at around 18 months years old.

Asperger Syndrome is still under diagnosed and alot of people with it are still being treated badly by society and disrespected.

Autism is a condition where the child cannot interact functionally with other people. it can be observed around 4 years old when the child normally should appreciate being with others and developing parallel play. but autistic children tend to have repetitive singular actions.

Autism in some cultures are seen, not as a problem, but as a blessing. They say people who have autistic children ot take care of autistic children get luckier in their career.
