The NAS says one in 700,000 or 1% of the population. Of course they can only count the diagnosed.
Thinking about my work team: 2 of us diagnosed and 'loud and proud' about it, one we know, but he doesn't choose to say, one more with kids with a diagnosis and has self diagnosed...out of only 11 of us?
Not one but two of my ex boyfriends, with whom I am still good friends, have self diagnosed - yup! I see that. Well, they say like attracts like; probably why I'm so fond of them.
We are definately a small minority. If we weren't the world would be catering to us better, but not so small as just 1%, I'm sure. Obviously, I picked my ex-boyfriends, but I didn't pick my colleagues however it turns out I like them. I only had a hand in recruiting one of them.
So, what do we think? How many of us are there really, do you think?
