Autism Strains Children, Families


Deborah Hill didn't know what was wrong with her daughter.
Her birthday party invitations started diminishing. She was getting calls from the Mount Laurel Schools saying that Lauren was hitting other students.
Meanwhile, Hill said, "Lauren was happy; she was oblivious."
It wasn't until Lauren was 12 that the family finally received a diagnosis: Lauren has Asperger's syndrome, part of the autism spectrum.
