Autism’s
Possible Implications for the Mind and Brain
Autism
affects one in 166 children born in the United States and has doubled in
prevalence over the past decade. This disorder has tragic repercussions for the
children diagnosed with it and remains a mystery without a known cure. My
autistic cousin Katie lives daily with the weight of this disorder and I intend
to explore in this paper the repercussions it holds for many facets of her
life.
