                                        UPDATE   2002.

Autism is more prevalent than had previously been thought.   According to recent reviews, there appears fairly good agreement that the Autism Spectrum Disorders affect approximately 60, and narrowly-defined Autism 10-30, per 10,000 children under 8.  The prevalence of Autism among adult populations is not known.  These estimates make Autism Spectrum Disorders far more common than was previously generally recognised.  (MRC-2001).
