  Disease Control\, one in forty-four children have been identified with au
 tism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 17 percent of children aged three to seve
 nteen have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities. Yet there are s
 till stigmas around autism.</p>\n<p><br />Kuri Yasuno\, who lives in Bethe
 sda\, wants to share her story as a first-time mom of a special-needs chil
 d in the hopes of inspiring awareness\, inclusion and especially kindness.
 &nbsp\;As a child\, Kuri had immigrated to the US from Japan. She went on 
 to work at the Discovery Health Channel and the National Geographic Channe
 l. When her son\, Daniel\, was diagnosed with being on the autism spectrum
 \, Kuri took her creative spirit and her positive mindset to shift her foc
 us from her career to his education and social skills development. She is 
 the author of a new book that is drawing attention. It shares her son&rsqu
 o\;s intimate story and their connection with humorous anecdotes and hones
 t introspection.&nbsp\;In&nbsp\;Autism with a Side of Sushi\, Kuri gives y
 ou the unique perspective as an immigrant from Japan who can empathize and
  sympathize with the feelings of wanting to assimilate and feel included.<
