I'm not a racist in any shape or form! I'm simply trying to find out which populations are more susceptible to Autism and Asperger's, and even more importantly: Which populations did Autism originate in? I believe that this could really help shed some light on the evolutionary aspects of ASD's. If we discover what purpose Autism served in it's original populations, I firmly believe that it will dramatically advance our understanding of Autism and how best to treat it. Given that we will understand it's very nature and how and why it came to be in the first place.
The problem is that 99.999999999% (or thereabouts) of the world's population does not post on WP. Most people in Africa don't even have phones, let alone computers to post on WP. So your stats will be horribly skewed.
You could do a study of the WP population, however. It would be interesting to know what % of WP folk identify as what ethnic/racial/color group.
