probably a good guesstimate at the branch college I go to is something on the order of 50-60/7000

I'm pretty sure 4/500 are diagnosed aspies. Not sure how many classic autistic kids there are, I think maybe like 6 or 7 of them.

What tiny schools we have!
My elementary school had 850 kids while I was there.

I can't remember how many pupils there were altogether at my school, but in my year group there were 150 and 5 of us were AS.

1/1600 I believe. Don't know because not everyone with AS gets any help at all at my school. I do know of 2 or 3 other kids with autism though.

My middle school was either 1/400 or 2/400, I am not sure, but there were 2 other students who had a different autistic diagnosis.

My elementary was 1/200 (And no other "special ed" students either) up until I was in grade 3 when there were now 300 students and a boy with Asperger's enrolled in Kindergarten. He didn't like though because I was a girl.

Where the heck are you going to school where half the student body is diagnosed with AS? Either that's an inaccurate figure or they're misdiagnosing themselves...


Or it could be a highschool for people with AS.


Maybe it's a bit of a joke because of how people in their school act.

50/6,000 aka 1:120.

In the UK and go to one of the largest colleges(post-secondary/compulsory, pre-HE) in the UK, certainly the NW of England anyway. I think that the total number on A-Level/BTEC is only 4,000 though, and so it might be 50/4,000(aka 1:80), I didn't ask when the guy in Study Support told me.

I'm the only one I know of with Asperger's at my high school. So, I guess that's 1/350ish

I haven't actually asked anyone, but I suspect a few people, and am quite certain I have been diagnosed, so 1-4/350. Statistically it is likely for there to be at least one more person with AS.





My high school has 6500 people, so probably like 40-50 people.

But if everybody in my resource room has it (which I suspect some of them don't), then like 100 people.
