A Kind Heart

Lately, the economy's has been on a really bad slide. You would expect people to scramble for every loose change in the house. But not this guy. Dr. Paul Offit, author of the book entitles, "Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure," has decided to donate his author royalties to the Center for Autism Research at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

"We are very pleased to partner with Dr. Offit, and to accept the royalties of his book for the work done here at the Center for Autism Research (CAR) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia," said Dr. Bob Schultz, director of the Center for Autism Research at Children's Hospital. "CAR is dedicated to helping children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. CAR's mission is to identify the causes of ASD, and from that knowledge devise effective treatments. By donating profits from his book, Dr. Offit is helping to push science forward for the good of all."

This is truly remarkable considering the current economical situation. Dr. Offit truly has a kind heart.
