Forty years ago autism was an obscure disorder that was thought to affect only two to four children in every 10,000, but now some British teachers are claiming to see it in one out of every 86 children. What has happened? Is there an epidemic of autism? If so, what’s causing it? Or is it that awareness has grown and the definition of autism has changed over the years since 1943 when the term was first coined? This documentary looks at the history of the condition and considers current research into causes, treatment, and prevalence. It also includes interviews with some of the world’s leading experts on autism and follows experimental research into autistic thinking, using state-of-the-art MRI scanners.
