IF 100 People Lived On Earth

If there were 100 people on earth.....

1-2 of them would have some type of autism. I heard on a tv commercial a year or so ago that 1 in 100 kids have autism. I remember thinking that was a crazy high number. This thread reminded me of that statistic. So I double checked to make sure I was right and found out it is even worse than that now.

About 1 percent of the world population has autism spectrum disorder. (CDC, 2014)
Prevalence in the United States is estimated at 1 in 59 births.

lol
its spectrum, not actual downs or something, its the same for other mental issues, about 1 kid for every 4-5 school classes, that seems normal to me

... but ... I have this voice in my head ... I think I 'm channelling an American singer ... there's music and the voice is going:


"Round and round and round we spin ...
To weave a wall to hem us in ...
It won't be long ...
It won't be long."

Canadian. Neil Young, I think from the Crazy Horse album. Old...
