The Comic/Tragic Politics of the Autism/Asperger World:
Columbia University Lecture
If you have the time this is well worth listening to:
GRASP Executive Director, Michael John Carley was the recipient of the Columbia University Center for Bioethics' 9th Anniversary Herbert G. Cohen, MD, DOS Memorial Lecture in Neuroscience. Joining past honorees/lecturers such as Oliver Saks, M.D., Carley was asked to speak on the political history of the controversies surrounding the autism/Asperger world.
This lecture (approximately 81 minutes long) is now available for viewing on the web. You can go to http://www.grasp.org/videocolumbia.htm to both view the presentation, and download the slides used in the lecture so that you can follow along.
