520    LIVING WELL WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE helps make sense of
       mitochondrial disease (Mito), an overwhelming and complex 
       group of diagnoses that has grown exponentially in recent 
       years. The most common of all metabolic disorders, thought
       to be more common than cystic fibrosis and broader-
       reaching than most genetic diseases, Mito can affect 
       babies, children, and teens from birth or at any point 
       during their development. Previously healthy adults, as 
       well as adults with a history of unexplained fatigue, are 
       increasingly receiving a Mito diagnosis. Some children 
       with autism spectrum disorders who have medical issues 
       such as digestive difficulties and fatigue are also being 
       identified as having a mitochondrial disorder. This guide 
       is the first book about Mito written for patients and 
       their families and helps readers understand how the 
       mitochondria work (they are the powerhouse of the cell, 
       providing energy for the entire body), how people with 
       mitochondrial defects are diagnosed and treated, and how 
       to live well when you, your child, or someone you love is 
       struggling with disabling symptoms.
