Printed: Autism

"New estimates show that 1 in 88 American children has been identified as having autism spectrum disorder, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said today, marking an increase of more than 20 percent since the last time such data were collected." - EdWeek

Wow.  How is it possible that people still don't know the causes?  This also makes me think about how general ed teachers NEED to be trained on how to provide supports for students with autism, not just special ed teachers.  How is that not required in teacher training yet??
