A personal look at autism, its effects, prevention, treatments and public policies.

All holidays are not magical. And everyone’s mother is not Martha Stewart. What happens when a well-intentioned mother dreams of creating the perfect Thanksgiving? Mishaps, mistakes, and misgivings! How each family member handles the problems is insightful and humorous. No perfect families anywhere, but some Thanksgivings are more memorable than others!

Dr Linda Nathanson-Lipitt of Children’s Habilitation Center in Atlanta, has kindly agreed to talk to our magazine about autism, its causes and treatments. The interview took place between Michael Shengaout and Dr. Nathanson-Lipitton August 23, 2012.
