DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — Families dealing with autism often turn toward Duke’s Center for Autism and Brain Development. Researchers are working to learn more about autism and help those who have it.
This summer the center hired its first intern with autism. Raghav Swaminathan spent the summer helping out with everything from scanning papers to cleaning and organizing research supplies.
Dr. Jill Lorenzi, the director of early intervention services at the center, says Raghav quickly became a valuable part of the team.
