USA Today: Rise in Autism Reports

A great big article in USA Today regarding the rise in autism reports.  More children have been diagnosed since 1990 because the doctors have been able to recognize different types of autism (i.e. autism spectrum disorders; Asperger's Syndrome).  Services in schools have increased.

The article also talks about that children were labeled as odd and difficult a few decades ago.  Nice to know that people are recognizing what is really going on, instead of labeling them something bad.
