...male and unmarried: about 1.8% of men surveyed were on the spectrum - among never-married, single men, an estimated 4.5% had ASD - compared with just 0.2% of women. (Brugha notes, however, that autism screening tools may be poorly adapted for identifying autism in adult females.) People with autism are less likely than average to have finished college but about as likely to be employed.
