Hi,
I've enjoyed the postings here, which are stimulating and challenging. As Alan has pointed out elsewhere, the personal accounts with autism should be an important part in our thinking about same. I wanted to share a paper that I've read by a woman with Asperger's Syndrome, thought by some to be a variant of autism. You can find it onthe web at http://www.inlv.demon.nl/subm-brain.eng.html#2. The author is eloquent with an activist mentality. Hope you enjoy!
