As Liverpool is this year&#8217;s European Capital of Culture we took a day out to visit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perspectives
Sometimes we need to step back from autism and consider it in relation to other disorders in order to refresh our sense of perspective. Take Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease. It is the most common form of dementia. The Alzheimer&#8217;s Society estimates that out of 700,000 dementia sufferers in the UK over 400,000 have Alzheimer&#8217;s. In terms of numbers it is [...]]]></description>
