They are saying more people of color are being diagnosed.

They are saying more than a third have ID with another 23.5% borderline ID. We know from other studies this 23.5% splits in half at 18 to add on to that 37.9% leaving 49.65% of autistic people with ID.
This is rather serious since it suggests approx. 50% of these kids will be ID when they reach 18, so maybe the rise is not due to more mild cases being diagnosed.

The other question not answered here, is whether the rate of ID with or without ASD is also increasing. If not, then either there is a greater co-morbidity group or milder ASD with ID is being diagnosed.
Here is a study showing the rate of ID has not been increasing, but the rate of co-morbidity has been growing.
