Autism spectrum disorders is one of the fastest-growing developmental disabilities in America, now affecting one in every 150 children. But the resources available to families vary greatly depending on where they live. Producers Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister of Long Haul Productions have been following several families with autistic children for their series Autism Chronicles.
