In my primary school I was 1/1050+ students.... They started a new special ed unit for me though, meaning I got an entire classroom full of cool things to myself (Until they sent almost every ADHD delinquent to it... needless to say I ended up offending someone on accident :roll: , getting dirt shoved down my throat and nearly stopped breathing because of some kind of bug allergy that swells up what it touches on me..)

Now my new high-school doesn't tell anyone how many aspies it has so that we can be 'normal'. Good idea in theory, until I realised they wrote it on the roll, meaning everyone ended up working out anyway... :roll: Mind you my always 'angry' face and me being a fairly large male means they don't say things to my face (Well, very often at least....) :lol:

I'm the only autistic girl at my school, but there are three other Aspies, one PDD-NOS, one with classic Autism, and one with ASD.

So, about 7/843.

I don't know exactly how many there were at my school, but there were 5 of us in our year (150+ pupils in each year group). And about 2 aspies 2 years below us.

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...

My highschool is really small, so I'm like the only one, though there is thIs one kid in the the ninth grade who definately has something more severe than me, and there is two kids with ADD/ADHD in my grade that show aspie traits.

Or it could be a highschool for people with AS.

I know that the general amount of people with Aspergers is about 1/150 but there are maybe 3 or 4 people, including me, who have AS. There are about 110 students at my school.

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.

Right now I do school online (I'm in 10th grade); in 9th grade, though, I went to the public high school and there were roughly 2,700 kids. I think that maybe 20 or something were in the "high-functioning" ASD program (I was, but I was "independent" or whatever; I didn't have to go to the social skills classes and stuff) but I can think of many kids who probably had AS but weren't diagnosed... So it's really hard to say. I can't put a number on it.
