Pediatricians say new show perpetuates autism myth


(NECN) - A nationally televised drama airing Thursday night is stirring controversy among people who care for those with autism. Some are worried that the show's premiere may leave parents with a dangerous message.

In the first episode of the ABC drama "Eli Stone," a lawyer wins more than $5 million for a mother who believes her child's autism is linkd to a vaccine, a connection disputed by scientists.

NECN's Worcester News Tonight reporter Jennifer Eagan has the details.
