"More than 500,000 people in the United States have been diagnosed with autism; it may occur in as many as one in 500 individuals"
1 in 500, but that other article said 1 in 120 which is a huge difference. I think the 1 in 120 figure is wrong.

I think the 1 in 500 is the figure for autism, the 1 in 120 is the figure for ASD overall?
Well both examples say autism, not ASD's overall.
