Abstract
Today, our country is in the midst of a major epidemic. Our children are being overtaken by a debilitating disorder that leaves them and their families devastated. The Center for Disease Control estimates that one in one hundred fifty children are born with this affliction. In fact, more children will be diagnosed with this disorder this year than juvenile AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined. With so many people affected it is hard to believe that there is so little being done to stop the widespread effect of this ailment (autism Speaks). The disorder in question is autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). autism is a complex disorder that affects both the sufferers and their families and deserves awareness and funding. Though little is known about autism there are many strides that are being made in order to treat and better understand the disorder as a whole.
