Autism Today - A six-part series on PBS NewsHour

Robert MacNeil is the co-founder of the PBS NewsHour and the grandfather of Nick, a 6-year old boy with Autism. April 18 through 26, MacNeil will host Autism Today, a six-part series covering Autism issues from a variety of angles.


April 18: Autism as a whole body experience. MacNeil brings viewers along on a visit with his daughter and grandson Nick in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to see how Autism affects the whole family. Nick experiences autism not just as a disorder in brain development but also as physical ailments affecting the whole body.


April 19: Autism Prevalence. At the UC Davis MIND Institute in Sacramento, California, MacNeil sees the wide range of different behaviors that comprise the Autism Spectrum. Anthropologist Richard Grinker argues that the rising numbers of children with Autism is explained because conditions previously given other names are now included in the Autism Spectrum.


April 20: Autism Causes. Robert MacNeil speaks with four leading researchers: Dr. Gerald Fischbach of the Simons Foundation, Dr. David Amaral of the MIND Institute, Dr. Martha Herbert of Harvard University and Dr. Craig Newschaffer of Drexel University.


April 21: Autism Treatment. MacNeil visits two schools in New York - a public school in the Bronx teaching 700 children with Autism and a charter school created in Manhattan as a model of possibilities in educating children with Autism.


April 25: Adults with Autism. Although federal law mandates educational services for children with Autism, there are virtually no services when they become adults. MacNeil profiles Zachary Hamrick in Mahwah, New Jersey, about to turn 21.


April 26: Autism Policy. The NewsHour series ends with a discussion of the public policy issues raised in the series with a panel of experts including: Dr. Thomas Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Catherine Lord, Professor of Psychology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the University of Michigan
