1:88 is less than 1.14%.
As opposed to just 1%.

So people are complaining about a decimal being tacked on?

I think it's the latest statistic of how many people are autistic

So there are roughly 7,016,675,848 people in the world, .14% of that is 9,823,346.19.... Um I think they may have counted you a few extra times zombiegirl2010

Last year I heard we were 1:110.
Earlier this year I heard we'd increased to 1:100
Now we're 1:88!! Watch out NTs!!

Yeah, I meant on the autism spectrum.

Seriously though, in the grand scheme of things, that's not much to be upset about.

BTW, since it seems like federal dollars fund a lot of autistic care, expect this number to change next year to something like 1:110. Less autism diagnoses=money saved at the federal level.

Gawd I really suck at math then. I've been announcing to brick-and-mortar people that NTs make up 85% of the world

about 1/2 people are neurotypical (don't have anxiety issues, bipolar, autism, adhd, etc.)

1/88 8 year olds in the study had autism and received services. So the amount of people with autism is higher.
