Startling news now from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the fight against autism, a brain-based disorder affecting communication and interaction skills. Studies in the past convinced researchers that about 1 in 500 children suffered from autism. Now, the CDC reports that number could be as high as 1 in 150. In this month’s cover story, Rod Starns looks at the impact autism has on a family, and how autism experts are combining forces here in the Mid-South to give families what they need, when they need it.
