Actress Angie Dickinson, 78, writes a powerful story of her only child's struggle with Asperger syndrome, in the new Los Angeles magazine, part of a package of stories about autism. Newsweek has a summary:
Nikki Bacharach, Dickinson's daughter with composer Burt Bacharach, was born three months premature in the summer of 1966. She weighed 1 pound, 10 ounces. The baby was immediately put into a preemie isolette and no one was allowed to touch her—a fate Dickinson believes was linked to her daughter's lifelong sense of isolation.
