Why has CNN had like seven autism stories on their front page in the last four days or so? Does one of their editors have an autistic child? Is it Autism Awareness Week?

Solved. Thank you. The stories had been increasing gradually, but it seemed to hit critical mass this week. I don't particuarly mind (I have an exhausted friend with an autistic child), but it gets really strange trying think of what drives them to bump things up above the electronic fold.
