Monday April 16
Ive been interested in this CDC study
on autism that just came out. Specifically its on autism spectrum disorders.
Find it here http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2012/p0329_autism_disorder.html.
They are estimating that one in eighty-eight kids in the US is “on the
spectrum”. The numbers have skyrocketed in minority communities and among boys.
This makes me wonder if it’s a matter of more occurrences or just better
detection. It will be interesting
to see what sorts of research and new information they come up with as a result
of this. This understanding
research and studies ties in with the course work and the alliance stuff as it
changes how we see our communities and how communities address the needs of
their citizens.
