I enjoyed it also. I have a son that is much like the boy in the article. Except I bribe him with little debbie snack cakes! :lol:

I loved the writer's style of writing. It's very colorful, and leaves a vivid picture in my mind as I read it.

Interesting, but I don't share the author's view that autism didn't exist a century ago. They just thought they were all ret*d or crazy and put them in an asylum, they didn't bother with special names or treatments.
