    Though autism effects approximately 1 in 31 U.S. children today, there is still much to learn about the lifelong condition.

Now working as an international autism educator, Dr. Lyons shares tips for other parents of autistic children to help them identify their biggest areas of concern and advises on how beneficial it is to treat the whole child rather than the symptoms only.
