The Age of Autism: The Wright approach Print E-mail

The head of NBC is donating more than $2 million to a Baltimore research institute to do something innovative: listen and learn from the parents of children who have autism.

Bob and Suzanne Wright's organization, Autism Speaks, is giving $2.3 million to the Kennedy Krieger Institute to fund the first year of development of an autism database that eventually will connect parents, educators and researchers. The idea: Through an open, interactive process, those participating will be able to share information, be part of ongoing studies and look for clues to causes and treatments for autism spectrum disorders, which now affect 1 in every 166 U.S. children.

The Wrights' involvement follows the diagnosis of a grandson with autism. Wright, chairman and CEO of NBC Universal and vice chair of General Electric, founded Autism Speaks (www.autismspeaks.org) with his wife last February.
