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....

    its all about diagnosis.... the uk clearly must be more proactive in diagnosing this is likely due to our free healthcare/nhs... in other country if you had a paywall to diagnose and possibly alot of expense in meds in the future if you got diagnosed im sure the money would put everyone off getting a diagnosis and theyd just put up with life without diagnosis or cost.

    so its a mix of free healthcare combined with proactive diagnostic.
