Autism More Common Than Thought
A new government study published in the journal Pediatrics indicates that one in every 91 American children is affected by autism instead of the previously estimated number of one in 150. What do you think?
Wendy Roeder,
Knurling-Machine Operator
"Wow, that means there is one child with autism at all times in Chuck E. Cheese."
Stan Benzinger,
Mold Cleaner
"Back in the day, we didn't go over-diagnosing every kid with a problem. We just excluded them."
Gordon Pirnia,
Winch Operator
"My autistic kids are the coolest, though, because they don't interrupt me when I'm on the phone."
