That 'could be as many as 700,000' at the start sounds low to me. I'm guessing around 3% which makes it more like just under 2 million adults and children.

Yes, the 700,000 statistic is inaccurate, I have read that 1 in 44 people are autistic! There’s so many of us, it’s so cool! The 700,000 statistic doesn’t reflect that many of us are late identified or self identified.
Also given that 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent (any neurological difference), that figure is way too low.
