The Autism Tribune is written by a newly-retired academic professor and mother of a boy with severe autism. Living in the UK I am excited about the groundswell of change coming in America. The Autism Tribune is written in part for our daughter (born 1998, now in her twenties) and her generation; they need to learn what is happening and what can be done, before it’s too late.

The future of our species depends on what happens between now and the end of the next generation. The current trajectory suggests that our children’s children will experience even more neurological damage than we are seeing today and it is hard to imagine how society can continue with the levels of intellectual and health impairment that are coming their way. This newsletter aims to reach a new generation before it’s too late to reverse the decline.
