That very well may be the case, that almost everyone in the USA has autism and it has simply gone undetected all these decades.
Though, awareness and detection is the same in most other first and second world nations, and they don't have anywhere near the numbers of autistic children as the USA has. In the USA it's something like 1 in 70. In many other countries it's 1 in 1000.
Maybe autism can be chalked up as part of the cost of freedom.
