http://tinyurl.com/cbctp is a wonderful article about autism. Part of
the article touches on a photo essay about autism, an essay that
is reaching its intended audience with the impact intended by its
creator. See for yourself at http://www.gettingthetruthout.org

In the article itself, I like this part especially:
> Because there is no objective biochemical test for autism, one
suggestion is that many of those previously diagnosed as
'mental retards' are now diagnosed as autistic.
> Links for further reading and information
> http://www.gettingthetruthout.org aims to show the reality
behind stereotypical images of autism.
> http://www.autismandcomputing.org.uk is Mike and Dinah's
site. It 'aims to explore ways of minimising the effects of a
disabling society on people disposed to monotropism'.
> http://www.nas.org.uk is the UK National Autistic Society's
website. It 'exists to champion the rights and interests of all
people with autism and to ensure that they and their families
receive quality services'
