Caltech Hosts Autism Forum
Jill Perry
In the 1990s, the number of children receiving services for autistic disorders is estimated to have risen by 556 percent. This astounding increase has raised the profile of this disease, and a panel of experts will address many different issues concerning autism at the California Institute of Technology's Biology Forum 2001, "Autism: Deciphering the Puzzle," at 8 p.m., April 20, in Beckman Auditorium at Caltech in Pasadena. It is free and open to the public.
