BY SYDNEY RECK & SOUMYA KURNOOL FEATURES EDITOR & ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR Autism is an increasingly common disorder, identified in one out of every 68 children, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because April is National Autism Awareness Month, researchers and community members in the San Diego area are stepping up efforts to promote awareness about the condition. UCSD researchers at the Autism Center of Excellence, Dlush founder Jeffery Adler and Autism Society San Diego share what they are doing to promote awareness this April.

...In Business ...For Families Jeffery Adler, founder of the Dlush beverage lounge in UCSD’s Price Center, has become an important fund- raiser for the autism cause on campus as a result of his personal resonance with the condition — two of his close friends have children who are autistic. “It created an emo- tional accord for us,” Adler said. “Stepping back a bit, it became part of our shared vision to find ways to inter- PHOTO USED WITH PERMISSION FROM SHIRLEY FETT sect commercial enterprise with community.” As a result, Dlush has partnered this month with Autism Society San Diego in a 30 Days of Happy campaign to raise funds for camps for autistic children. Dlush cre- ated a new drink called the “Happy Camper” to com- memorate the partnership. “We wanted [a drink] that was colorful, fresh, optimistic and happy,” Adler said. The Happy Camper is a drink made of hand-squeezed PHOTO USED WITH PERMISSION FROM GILDA ADLER lemons, fresh strawberries and strawberry jello. For each purchase of the $4.50 drink, Dlush donates a dollar to programs held by the s the former President of Autism Society San Diego and as a mother of two chil- Autism Society San Diego for autistic children.

In the past, people thought autistic people did not have emotions or Adler said. “They had bought that drink, and the mother was explaining her friends, which is not true. Autistic people just are not always able to express emotions in the story about a personal experience with autism. [...] I thought there was some same way other people might.” hidden power in that.

THE RUNDOWN ON AUTISM

1 out of 68 children are identified with autism, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

Autism is 5x more prevalent among boys than among girls (CDC).

In 2009, only 33% of young adults with autism were employed (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Problem: You can’t get the courses you need at your own school. It is estimated to cost at least $17,000 more per year to care for a child with autism compared Solution: to a child without autism (CDC). Take ours online. Transfer the credits. Graduate on time.

BY meryl press staff writer

UCSD’s Wagner Festival is a plat- form for graduate students to put on plays they have written and a converg- ing point for diverse sources of inspira- tion. This year’s festival will feature five new plays taking place from April 16 to April 26, written by five UCSD gradu- ate student playwrights as part of the UCSD Master of Fine Arts Graduate Playwriting program. The Wagner Festival is held every April in the Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre, the Arthur Wagner Theatre and in the Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre, and is part of the MFA’s three-year graduate playwriting program. Now a 12-year tradition, the Festival gains a new director and a new playwright each year. This year’s Festival will have the most playwrights, showcasing five plays to the public. Plays to be featured will be “The Mango Farmer of Vermont” by Emily Feldman, “Deluge, or The Panda Play” by Kristin Idaszak, “in the crowding darkness” by Jeff Augustin, “Battlecruiser Aristotle” by David PHOTO USED WITH PERMISSION FROM MANUEL ROTENBERG Jacobi and “Campo Maldito” by eran, inspired the play. she can’t seem to pin down what’s the Wagner Festival to a residency lot of poverty and violence, yet [is] Bennett Fisher. “A friend of mine came back and, bothering her.
