Description

Last year, Health Secretary Kennedy thrust autism into the national spotlight, calling it an epidemic and vowing to investigate what he characterized as its environmental causes. It struck a nerve in the autism community and reignited debates about whether the autism spectrum is too broad. Judy Woodruff and producer Mary Fecteau have the story for our series, Disability Reframed. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
