Math and numbers are easy for 10-year-old Alex Lee. He can tell you what pi is out to 100 digits. But Alex doesn't do so well with chitchat. On a late fall day, he meets with psychologist Brian Freedman.For children like Alex with autism, social interactions are a struggle. But Freedman is part of a team of researchers at Baltimore's Kennedy Krieger Institute that has developed a course to help these kids improve their social skills. The program is called Building Up Development of Socialization, or BUDS.
