Autism is a brain disorder, typically diagnosed when a child is 2 or 3. Among Americans, it has skyrocketed 600 percent over the last two decades from 1 in 1,500 kids in the 1990's to 1 in 110 kids today and 1 in 70 boys.

We are 867 on the IFDDS waitlist. Given the current crawl, that may be ten years if we are lucky. But I don't want to see a gutted version of it when we get there.
