Why would the UK have the highest rates for autism?

It has the highest rates of all, apparently. The country I live in is 123 down the list.

North Korea as an example is among the lowest, but then there could be all sorts of unedifying reasons for that....

    But how has the UK arrived at that figure?

    If they have taken it  from the NHS it will likely only include NHS diagnoses, excluding those diagnosed privately and those sef-diagnosed.  Each country may have different methods of counting and testing, so I don't think the chart can be taken as anything other than a  rough guide.
