Diagnosis rates of autism among children have more than tripled over the past 15 years. One reason, which Minnesota’s welfare scandal lays bare with shocking details, is Medicaid fraud and abuse.

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

Consider the behaviors that constitute the diagnosis: inattention, disorganization, being more active than typical—nothing violent or extreme. The diagnosis doesn’t take into account family or social ...
