0:01Welcome to Chasing Life.
0:03Last year I got a voicemail that really made me pause.
0:06It was from a caller named Victoria.
0:08She lives in San Antonio, Texas, and she had a pretty simple request.
0:12I would absolutely love if you can kind of just give us some facts about autism.
0:18We've seen the numbers go up and I have an autistic son.
0:22Thank you for being a source that we can trust.
0:25Facts.
0:26That's what Victoria is asking for.
0:29For herself, yes, but I think also for anyone trying to make sense of all the headlines and debates and misinformation that we're seeing these days about autism.
0:38So that's exactly what we're going to do today.
0:40I'm going to be talking with Dr.
0:42Matthew Lerner, he's a leading autism researcher at Drexel University, and we're going to be getting into the facts.
0:48What is autism?
0:50How has our understanding of it changed?
0:53And why does it seem to be rising in terms of overall numbers?
0:57I'm Dr.
0:57Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, and this is Chasing Life.
