I'm doing a project for my Psychology class on AS and I need to know how many people in the U.S. have it. Also, if you know any good websites, could you give me a link?

Thanks 8O

One study in the US estimated 1 in 4000, while another one with slightly different criteria in Sweden estimated 1 in 300.
