My Subject My Child: A Parent/Researcher's Search for Answers on Autism




Dana Radio Series - Gray Matters show

Summary: What happens when a parent receives a diagnosis that his/her child has a condition where there is no known cure or treatment? And then what transpires when that same parent is also a scientist/researcher with the expertise to take matters into his/her own hands? This radio documentary profiles a neuroscientist who has advanced both treatment and research on autism -- primarily because of his extraordinary devotion as a parent. Autism has become a personal and professional crusade for him, and he is on the verge of announcing a significant scientific breakthrough.
