How are they so sure of the numbers? Is that diagnosed or suspected? I would be surprised if it were so high.

The video is interesting though, just to watch the guys behaviour. I can see him struggling to verbalise his thoughts just as I do.

There can probably be more then 500000 people that has aspergers in the uk, think of all those people that never go forward with that they have asperger, there also allot of people that hides it.
