Autism coverage is commendable

To the editor:

Bravo to your paper for the extensive coverage of autism. I commend your publication for taking a leadership stand on educating subscribers on autism. There is no one answer to this terrible crisis in our nation, and your broad coverage has shown the many faces of autism.

Our son, Nathan, is 5 years old and has moderate autism. It is common for him to take two progression steps forward and then one backward, making this a hard journey for him and us. We sure love him and hope that the awareness you are creating will inspire researchers, educators and politicians to accelerate the efforts to find a cure.
