The findings confirm the intuitive assumption: that ASD is just as common in adults as it is in children. Researchers at the University of Leicester, working with the NHS Information Center found that roughly 1 in 100 adults are on the spectrum - the same rate found for children in England, Japan, Canada and, for that matter, New Jersey...
