You're making our country healthier. Thank you, Bobby. Could you just say the record state what the autism was, let's say, 20 years ago and what it is today. In 1970, the largest epidemiological study in history was performed. 900,000 kids were looked at. They were looking for autism in Wisconsin children they looked at. Every child in Wisconsin was 8 years old. They found an autism rate of 0.7 per 10,000. So almost close to 1 in 20,000. Less than 1 in 10,000. Today the autism rates are nationally at 131.
