Unraveling an epidemic: Autism rates have increased twentyfold in a generation, stirring parents’ deepest fears and prompting a search for answers. But what if the upsurge is not what it appears to be?

This a major series we’re rolling out over the course of four days.

A very thought-provoking series on autism.  The fourth piece of the series discusses adult autism which is in and of itself fascinating.  I hope more solutions are found and late diagnosis adults find assistance (if needed).
