Autism rates could be higher than previously thought

Studies from various countries are indicating that autism rates among children might be greater than current estimates. A study from South Korea is being released which contends that it is more common than most think. The study found that more children really had autism than were diagnosed with autism among the general population. The study implies that several children are not diagnosed, though they have an autism disorder.
