April is National Autism Awareness Month. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that one in 68 children in the United States is on the autism spectrum.

On Second Thought host Adam Ragusea speaks with Debbi Scarborough, founder of the Cumberland Academy of Georgia.

As a toddler, Steven Scarborough was diagnosed with what previously was called Asperger's syndrome. It's now known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 

After her son's diagnosis, Debbi Scarborough co-founded the Cumberland Academy of Georgia, a school for children with ASD.

We sat down with Scarborough to learn more about Cumberland Academy and her family's personal journey with ASD.
