I'm actually hopeful that the reference to autism means that the rising rate of autism has finally become an issue on the top table. Maybe they just sat around wondering how to play Palin's connection with special needs kids into something current and someone threw out "hey autism is a hot topic right now." Whatever. If it gets funding for research on the causes of autism I'm happy.
