A Major Shift in Autism Research
|
Q. My son, Tyler, has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He is verbal but he prefers to be alone and he avoids social situations whenever he can. My neighbor’s son, Christopher, who is also on the spectrum, is completely non-verbal and has severe sensory issues.
I heard that the president signed the Autism CARES Act this week, providing 1.8 billion dollars for autism research. This is certainly good news. However, how can they find a cure for something that can have so many varying symptoms among those who have it?

Critter Corner: What Happens to Adults with Autism Who “Age Out”?

There is a lot of funding for research about early diagnosis and early intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there doesn’t seem to be much attention paid to adults with ASD. My daughter is 18 and has ASD. What information can you provide to help someone who will be “aging out” in the next 3 years? Thanks for your help!
