Autism and Girls Boys are about five times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. But the gap between boys and girls may be less about biology and more about screening. Research shows that autism is harder to detect in girls. And many girls go undiagnosed far into their adolescence and, in some cases, into adulthood.

Press Play with Madeleine Brand
How do Trump supporters feel about the Paris Accord? Globally and around the U.S., there are strong opinions whether or not the Paris Climate Accord is a good idea.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
