CNN’s Larry King Live focused Wednesday’s show on Autism. He interviewed Bill Cosby, who is headlining a concert for autism research. Larry also interviewed singer Tony Braxton (also appearing at the concert), Gary Cole, and Ed Asner, who each have autistic children. I’m not sure if they’ll rebroadcast it, but here’s a link to the transcript. I hope they show it again, because it was pretty informative and moving. Suzanne Wright was especially striking, with her passion and her head-spinning statistics (1 in 94 boys have Autism). Her strength was inspiring.

Thank you for the overview. Regarding the 1 in 94 statistic: This is the prevalence rate for autism among children in New Jersey.
