National autism summit charts a path through a scientific, clinical wilderness
Article Abstract:
The Children's Health Act of 2000 created the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee whose congressional mandate was to develop a 10-year agenda of autism research. Autism affects between three and six children out of every 1,000 children and the number of children diagnosed with autism began increasing in the 1990s. The Cure Autism Now (CAN)Foundation has raised $12 million for autism research since 1995.
