Virginia Wonders about Increase in Autistic Children

The Daily Press newspaper in Virginia has an article called "What's Behind the Increase of Autistic Children?"  It mentions that the changes in diagnosing autism caused a decrease in mental retardation diagnoses and a rise in autism spectrum diagnoses in the United States.  Virginia also reflects the shift towards more autism diagnoses in children in the last six years.

Interesting article.  Check it out.
