What makes you think higher average IQ is associated with autism? (Rain Man doesn't count.)
The state with the highest reported rate of autism spectrum disorder is Utah, followed by New Jersey. The states with the lowest reported rates are in the Deep South (which is probably more about access to healthcare than actual prevalence).
Edit: added "average"
- fecak 13y agoThe rates you are quoting (assuming you are using the study the 1:68 came from) are from a single study that didn't account for all 50 states. It was less than 20 states.
- kylebgorman 13y agoI was quoting from earlier CDC reports. No study has looked at all 50 states to my knowledge (though tell me if you know of one), and even between participating states there are irregularities due to what kinds of records the CDC has access to.
