It's now called ASD....autism spectrum disorder. As in any spectrum, you can have very mild cases (used to be called Asperger's) to the full blown autistic.

Is it more common? Probably no. Increased awareness makes it seem so.

Plus in the past, families just hide them at home.

This.
People tend to only credit increased awareness but don't credit increased exposure these days. Also the older we are, the more we are exposed to others. So we see more now than as kids.

I have also noticed increase of gay/lesbians these days compared to back then.
Also notice more OKU people (physically disabled ones), probably due to better facilities and equipment for them to be out and about.
