Autism: A Grandfather’s Perspective

PBS NewsHour Autism Now Series: A Viewer’s Guide

by Maureen Hoch

The PBS NewsHour is launching a special series of reports, both on-air and online, about a puzzling disorder that touches many lives across the U.S.: Autism Now will take a unique — and uniquely personal — look at how the condition impacts families, schools and communities.

As former anchor Robert MacNeil explains, the subject that drew him back to the NewsHour is one that resonates deeply with his own family and the families of thousands of others. MacNeil’s 6-year-old grandson, Nick, has autism. View the 6-part series: Autism Now Series: A Viewer’s Guide | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS.
