The epidemiology of autism is the study of the incidence and distribution of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A 2022 systematic review of global prevalence of autism spectrum disorders found a median prevalence of 1% in children in studies published from 2012 to 2021, with a trend of increasing prevalence over time.
Autism cases spiked 175% among U.S. residents from 2011 to 2022. The rates climbed at a faster rate among young adults. Autism is spiking in young adults, study finds
In 2020, prevalence for autism spectrum disorder was 30% higher for Black, Asian and Hispanic 8-year-olds than in 2018. For white 8-year-olds, ASD prevalence was 14.6% higher than it was in 2018.
In the United States, around half (53.4%) of young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) worked after leaving school (2011 figures), this rate being the lowest among disability groups. [ 39 ] [ 73 ] Michael Bernick and Richard Holden (2015) estimate that the overall unemployment rate for autistic Americans is between 60% and 70%.
A 2016 survey in the United States reported a rate of 25 per 1,000 children for ASD. [366] Rates of autism are poorly understood in many low- and middle-income countries, which affects the accuracy of global ASD prevalence estimates, [367] but it is thought that most autistic people live in low- and middle-income countries.

[1] [2] The prevalence ratio is often cited as about 4 males for every 1 female diagnosed. [3] Other research indicates that it is closer to 3:1 or 2:1. [2] [4] One in every 42 males and one in 189 females in the United States is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. [5]
ASD averages a 4.3:1 male-to-female ratio. The number of children on the autism spectrum has increased dramatically since the 1980s, at least partly due to changes in diagnostic practice; it is unclear whether prevalence has actually increased; [4] and as-yet-unidentified environmental risk factors cannot be ruled out.
