Emerging Populations
In 1989, when Susan Senator was a new mom wondering why her toddler son used few words, had trouble relating to his family, and behaved differently than other children, there were few people to talk to about it.
"We knew of no one with autism," Senator writes in her book, Making Peace with Autism. "The pro-football star Doug Flutie had not yet raised national awareness of this disorder. His autistic son had not yet been born. Back then, doctors still cited an incidence of two in 10,000 births, compared with today's one in 166."
Today things are different: most people you meet will have at least heard of autism.
