First US study of autism in adults estimates 2.2% have autism spectrum disorder

Or, in other words, an increase in diagnoses was never the same as an increase in incidence.

This isn't really news, but take the article anyway.

Edit: Bad Connie. I didn't read past the headline - they just assumed a flat incidence rate rather than proving it. Which is fair, I assume that too.

Wait, did they NOT evaluate adults? Well, fuck, nobody else is gonna read past the headline, just like I sure didn't. I'll still spread it around - I'm tired of that one British study where they did and, surprise surprise, came up with the same results anyway.
