I guess no one ever thinks of autism until it affects them---I know I never did.
I just read on a New Zealand autism board that it can be as many as 1 in 100 children affected but I think these numbers include disorders such as ADD and OCD (which I have heard some dr's consider are on the spectrum). Anyway, I'm thankful for any fundraising efforts. Hats off to comedy central.
