Dec 26th, 2007 by Study Abroad
Autism is much more common than most people think. There are over half a million people in the UK with autism - thats around 1 in 100 people.People from all nationalities and cultural, religious and social backgrounds can have autism, although it appears to affect more men than women. It is a lifelong condition: children with autism grow up to become adults with autism.
