This number is a very rough estimate as Autism is :
1. LOOSELY DEFINED:
Autism is a disease with a wide spectrum of symptoms and disorders, ranging from a fully functional adult with slight autistic tendencies or minor learning disorders to individuals who have the most severe form of Asperger syndrome...so the definition of autism itself is debatable.
2. NO HARD CONSISTENT INTERNATIONAL DATA:
According to the NAS (National Autistic Society), "There is no central register of everyone who has autism, which means that any information about the possible number of people with autism in the community must be based on epidemiological surveys (ie studies of distinct and identifiable populations)." -Source /www.autism.org
3. INCORRECT DIAGNOSIS
Many cases of Autism are brushed off as learning disabilities or ADD or personality disorders so the number is severely under-diagnosed, especially in countries with poor medical /educational facilities.
Additional Input:
about 1.5% of people have autism, which is about 46,000,000 people
right now the dignoses is at around 1 in 59
25% im not sure
14%

To get someone with autism to talk to you, just talk to them. If they are verbal and willing to talk to you then they will more than likely talk back, if they are non-verbal then try communicating in other ways.
Both children and adults with autism usually exhibit difficulties with social interactions and verbal and nonverbal communication. That doesn't necessarily mean their all quiet. All have Social difficulties, but some just have problems with the Social rules. It's true that many are quiet, but not all are. Some talk far too much and annoy everyone, especially if it's asperger.
