Autism is a disorder that affects 60 out of 10,000 children.  Despite the frequency of the disorder and continuous research, autism is a condition that holds many unanswered questions.  In the spirit of inclusion, many mildly autistic students are placed in mainstream classes.  Teachers must understand the challenges faced by these students if autistic students are to be successfully integrated.  Our guest today is Melissa Steckly.  Melissa is a doctorate of pharmacy from the University of Iowa.  Melissa has the unique experience of having two older brothers that have autism and Aspergers.  Melissa Steckly explains some common questions related to Autism from a medical and personal perspective.
