According to a recent study at Cambridge University's Autism Research Centre (ARC), one in 58 children have some form of autism in England. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen headed the Cambridge University research study. He believes that possible factors to the rise in autism are genetics, environmental factors like pesticides, and children's exposure to hormones such as testosterone in the womb.
Last year, it was one in 86. Before that, one in 100.
In the US, it's one in 150.

Actually, I think you'll find that this latest survey was really a screening system. The study hasn't been published yet [leaked]
