Difficulties with language exist with both autistic and non-autistic people.

Here in Norway it's estimated that 1% of the 5-year-olds have significant speech delay, while 5% have moderate speech delay. http://nhi.no/foreldre-og-barn/barn/liv ... -2882.html

ABC news claim that 8-15% of the 2 and 3 year olds have speech delay.
