Temple Grandin Makes Time Magazine's List!
 OK, so the list is somewhat a popularity contest, those leaders, artists, innovators, and icons of the music industry who shape our world. And, Temple may have been beaten out by the likes of Lady Gaga, Susan Boyle, Apolo Ohno and Barack Obama. But we love that she captured more votes and a higher ranking than such notable personalities as Ellen DeGeneres, James Cameron and Oprah Winfrey. Congrats Temple, from us to you!

Autism Prevalence - 1 in every 58 Boys!
A national survey of parents showed the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) among U.S. children aged 3 to 17 years is approximately 1 in 91 children. The study, “The Prevalence of Parent-Reported Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Children in the United States, 2007,” was published in the Oct. 5, 2009, issue of Pediatrics. The study drew on data from the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Health, a telephone survey of 78,037 parents conducted jointly by the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The odds for having a child with an ASD are four times higher for boys than for girls, resulting in the alarming statistic that 1 in every 58 boys will be diagnosed on the autism spectrum.
Find a Q&A prepared by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) about the study here.
