Anyone Heard of Emily Willingham?

I do a lot of research on ASDs and ran across a blogger who asked the very question I have about the epidemicization of Autism/Aspergers. She recently started blogging for Forbes, which should be interesting, given the audience. I like the way she explains things, and I like that she's pretty fearless.

I hadn't heard of Emily Willingham, but thanks a lot for bringing her work to my attention, they are well written and very informative.
