And Michele..your numbers are actually a little off. It's 1 in 150 in the states, with a new case diagnosed approximately every 20 minutes. And scarily enough? The United States doesn't even have the worst rate for Autism Spectrum conditions. Japan...has about a 1 in 66 rate of Autism, or related Pervasive Developmental Disorders. They tried the whole "Let's take mercury out of the vaccines!" thing...hoping the rate would go down.
It went up.
I've heard good things about Alpine, so best of luck to you and yours Mike !

Sorry - those were the numbers for NJ - the nationals I'm sure are a bit different.
