Larry King Live To Focus On Autism

Tonight’s episode of Larry King Live on CNN will focus on autism and National Autism Awareness Month. Guests included Bill Cosby who is headlining an autism fundraiser in New York in April; singer Toni Braxton whose son has autism; and actor Gary Cole whose daughter has an autism-spectrum disorder. Included in the topics of conversation will be the recently released afflicted rate of 1 in 150 children, up from 1 in 166. Autism affects millions of people, whether directly or indirectly via family members and friends of those with autism spectrum disorders. I am very excited about the awareness that NAAM is bringing!
