Before we get underway, I must first deeply apologize for the lack of updates here. Finally, I have been able to muster the time to truly get this blog underway.
To begin understanding how autism is treated across the world, I have chosen to start by providing statistical charts for autism. These charts compare the number of citizens from each country who suffer from autism compared to the total population. The first chart depicts prevalence rate of autism among citizens in each country, while the second shows approximately how many people turn out autistic each year.
You can view the charts here.
NOTE: All of these numbers are merely estimates, and are not based on country-specific data sources.
Again, I apologize for the delay. I promise there will be more frequent updates, starting today.

these charts have no value and should be removed as they misinform people. If you read the heading, you will find that the authors simply used the rate of autism in the US and applyed that to reported populations of the respective countries. Autism has genetic factors and rates of incidence vary quite drastically from one poplulation to another.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I am interested, as in my experiance, a surprising amount of autistics are of Austro-Hungarian or Anglo heritage. It is hard to find data on this as medical research done on basis of national origin is considered racial and is hence taboo.
