Autism prevalence among 8-year-old Utah children has risen by nearly 30% in less than a decade, according to a study of 11 communities nationwide, including Salt Lake City and surrounding counties, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A former University of Utah autism researcher was awarded $760,000 in damages after she claimed the university ended her contract after she reported an unauthorized release of records.
