Example of something I had to lookup to understand: (/hj)
Back when I was in school, Autism was a 1/10,000 Dx. 20 years ago it was crashing down from 1/100 to 1/50, checking now... 1/31 today. They've lumped so much into the Autism diagnosis that it's meaningless anymore; it covers so many varied conditions and severities, and the stereotypes don't fit most recipients of the Dx anymore.
The spectrum is a big place.
A big place with very varying "special needs" ranging from none all the way through fully supported living.
