Question 1

what percentage of individuals with autism or asperger syndrome get married?  who do they marry?

Accepted Answer

Don't know: I don't believe that information exists anywhere.  I couldn't find anything on it.  There's a lot of info about how difficult marriage can be for someone with asperger's.
I general, i would guess (and i mean guess) that since most people with asperger's are never diagnosed that the % is pretty close to national average.  Divorce rate may be higher.  For autism it's going to depend on severity.

Question 2

how high is the percentage of individuals with autism or asperger syndrome get married?

Accepted Answer

Unknown?: As far as i know there have been no definitive studies on this subject in this country.  There have been some studies done on this in england(and you could look them up) but nothing concrete.  My take on this subject is that the higher the level of functioning the individual has the more things/experiences they will have in his/her life.  Try to be supportive and a resource/sounding board.
