I expected the percentage of autistic people to be higher that 10%.

I am autistic and I am studying to be a theoretical physicist, and I have noticed that some of my class seem to be on the spectrum. Those that have low expectations of us are simply not educated on what autism actually is.

Neil probably said 10% as a generous low guess. It looks better than saying something that is likely more accurate, and that Neil likely knows to be more accurate, like say idk 20%, which might be a biiiit high but eh, /shrug

There is evidence that some of history's greatest Mathematicians and Scientists were likely on the Spectrum (Newton, Einstein, look it up for-real). Where some parts of the brain are damaged, others are strengthened ;)

Only 10%? In my field of work (CS, low level programming and math) I struggled to find someone without spectrum traits, myself included.

Don't we all fall somewhere on the spectrum? Isn't that the point of a spectrum?
