Experts Examine Misconceptions
By LARA SALAHI
ABC News Medical Unit
Oct. 23, 2008 — As the number of Americans diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders climbs, so, too, does the number of questions surrounding this disorder. Namely, what is autism, and what is causing a rise in autism diagnoses among adults and children nationwide?
Click here to go to ABC News' On Call+ Autism page.
Amid these questions, television shows and magazines feature a barrage of stories and imagery -- families rallying for and against vaccines, debates between medical experts pointing to both genetic and environmental causes, and images of individuals diagnosed with autism who struggle to speak and function independently, while others can interact with others and are able to hold jobs. For many, these competing messages may make this already complex condition even more confusing.
Fortunately, doctors and researchers are learning more about the causes and characteristics of autism.

ASA Issues Human Rights Declaration for People with ASD
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
By: Carin Yavorcik, autism-society.org
The latest issue of ASA’s Autism Advocate magazine brings autism to the forefront of world human rights. In an article entitled “The Next Global Human Rights Issue: Why the Plight of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders Requires a Global Call to Action,” ASA president and CEO Lee Grossman and Harvard University lecturer Paulo Barrozo issue a declaration of the human rights of people with autism spectrum disorders.
In light of this declaration, the Advocate also brings autism spectrum disorders into the arena of American politics with the “2008 Presidential Election ASA Questions for the Candidates.” These six questions outline the top issues for Americans with autism today, from insurance parity to adult employment and more.
If you found these articles helpful, please consider becoming an ASA member. Your support qualifies you to receive the Advocate every quarter. |
