To the editor:
In response to the article "Cases of child autism have increased 850 percent in Missouri": For the past 11 years we have struggled to raise our 13-year-old boy with autism, which took him away from us at age 2. Thank you for one of the most concise, accurate and insightful articles I have ever read on the subject -- and we have read a lot. Raising awareness is the first step toward finding a cause and cure. Your article does just that.
