I was on the Subway this morning, and people were holding today's paper and the cover had a headline:
"CDC says 1% of children has autism".
My sentence correction alarm went off in my head and buzzed really loud. The sentence does not sound right. Although the subject maybe "percent", using the singular form does not sound right.
What do you think?

To put it more in perspective, there's a Time.com article that says: "One in a hundred American children has an autism spectrum disorder."
The rules of grammer apply based on whether the verb is in singular or plural form, rather than whether the quantity on hand is sigular or plural. "One in a hundred" American children means more than 400,000 (based on the 2000 census statistics), but if the subject is one, then it is singular.
It gets a bit more complicated when it is "one percent of children". I think the subject is children, not percent. A good example would be, "One hundred students in this school have autism."
