they would do anything. >> and youhow it in action. offfirst did this special bac in 2001 and one out of every 500 kids diagnosed wh autism and now 1 in every 45. is there an epidemic? >> it's not clear that there is. the truth is we don't know because we're always comparing apples a orange. theefinition has changed so much and where we come out on the science on this is that we don't know if there is an epidemic and don'tnow if there's not an edemic but we also think itt shouldn't matter en we decide whether or not to respond to the needsds of people in the autism community. shouldn't matter whether there's an epidemic or not. we should try to focus on the fact they need respect support and inclusive of them. >> you debunk a l lot of the bad science. and there has been a lot. i was starting to look back and hear about these refrigerator moms. the theory kids got autism because their moms were too cold. >> already the families are

of their kids and they're giving all their heart and soul and now being blamed for it. >> and it's just crazy. i was talking to yo before we came on. i think one of my most contentious interviews on "gma" was with andrew wakefield. the man who me this link beeen autism and vaccines and problems. >> it was a bad episode in the story of autism. in that it eroded trust and science and got people to stop vaccinatin theirir kids with bad consequencenss consequences. it was worth asking in the beginng but then it was answered and yet kept going. the only thing that we can say that it had in a positive way is it certainly made people more aware of autism than ever before. but that's about it. >> your storey opens with the first man diagnosed with autism. he's still alive.

>> an extraordinary guy. he is the example of what -- how good a life can be having autism if your community embraces you. which is so much of what we're trying to say in thehe book. >> his community embraces him as an example, the firs time we went down to mississippi this town and started talking to people, they say we'llalk about dononald but if you hurt live. >> what does that mean to have a community embraced? we think about it in kids but somebody thatived with it their whole looichssives, what does that mean? >> john and i tell this story about what happenss onhe bus. >> yeah. the little thing happened in 2007. a young man on a bus with auti. in new jersey. he starts making nois and rocking in his feet and behehind him two guys start picking on him saying buddy, cut it out. what's your problem, man. >> then all of a sudden this passenger jumps up and says what's your problem? he has autm.

the whole bus gets behind him and the person they don't want there anymore is ts guy and the bullies lose out. and that's what we are trying to do withhe book. what we want people to walk away with. if we have people's backs who are dierent, my son's, anydy who is different, you can change the world. i mean it sounds cliche but that's how i feel. >> but youhow it in the book and your passion shines through. thanks for coming in. >> thanks. >> you can read an excerpt from ththe book a and go on goodmorningameca.com on yahoo. down to lara. >> to 13 hours, the new film about the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi spireded by real life events. the real heros are speaking out.
