 (Jeremy Raff/KQED)

Today, one in 68 children is on the autism spectrum, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet despite decades of research, there is much we don’t know about the disorder. We discuss the evolving definition, hidden history and public perception of autism with “NeuroTribes” author Steve Silberman.

Guests:

Steve Silberman, journalist; author of "NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity"
