概要

 As the mother of a 28-year-old daughter with autism and legal guardian of her older brother with autism, Alison Silver is a natural advocate for Autism and everything surrounding it. She started the Autism Science Foundation in 2009. She also has served on the federal Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) for 12 years, where she chaired the Safety and Housing Workgroups, and served on the subcommittee responsible for writing an annual strategic plan to guide federal spending for autism research and participated in many of the most important Autism organizations. In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics named her an “autism champion.” In 2017 she received the INSAR “Outstanding Research Advocate” award and in 2018 she received the New York Families for Autistic Children Research Advocacy Award. Autism: When people refer to “Autism,” they are usually talking about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a brain-based disorder that is characterized by social-communication challenges and restricted and repetitive behaviors, activities and interests. Autism is about four times more likely to affect boys than girls, and is found in all racial, ethnic, and social groups. There is no known single cause of autism, although the best available science indicates a genetic origin. Alison talks about signs to look for, support from various places, effects on family life, and so much more.
