Autism/PDD occurs in approximately one out of every 110 births and is four times more common among males than females. It is found throughout the world in families of all racial, ethnic and social backgrounds. Please refer to "Three Reasons Not To Believe in an Autism Epidemic", by Gernsbacher et al. for a broader perspective on the current figures on the prevalence of autism in the population.
