I asked Grok which countries have the highest Autism rates. Grok's response:

Based on available data, countries with the highest reported autism rates include:

🟢 Qatar: Approximately 151 cases per 10,000 individuals (1.51%). This high rate is likely due to increased awareness, advanced diagnostic services, and comprehensive screening programs.

🟢 United Arab Emirates: Around 112 cases per 10,000 (1.12%), attributed to similar factors as Qatar, including robust healthcare systems and awareness campaigns.

🟢 Oman: Approximately 107 cases per 10,000 (1.07%), with government efforts enhancing early intervention and diagnosis.

🟢 Bahrain: About 103 cases per 10,000 (1.03%), supported by active awareness and resource provision.

🟢 Saudi Arabia: Roughly 101 cases per 10,000 (1.01%), with improvements in autism awareness and support services.

I thought the US was high on the list, but we were strangely abscent until I asked it specifically what the rate was in the USA. Grok's response:

The autism rate in the USA, based on the most recent data from the CDC, is approximately 1 in 36 children (about 2.78% or 278 cases per 10,000). This figure comes from the 2023 report, reflecting data on 8-year-old children in 2020. The rate has increased over time, largely due to improved diagnostics, broader awareness, and expanded diagnostic criteria, though environmental and genetic factors are also studied. Rates can vary by region, sex (higher in males), and ethnicity, with some studies noting higher prevalence in certain communities due to access to diagnostic services.

Why you do me dirty like that Grok?
