"With a seeming suddenness, cases of autism and closely related disorders like Asperger's are exploding in number, and no one has a good explanation for it. While many experts believe the increase is a by-product of a recent broadening of diagnostic criteria, others are convinced that the surge is at least in part real and thereby cause for grave concern." (TIME) This article traces the history of autism and reveals that the disorder affects "a total of nearly 300,000 children in the U.S. alone.".
