Wonderful essay by Tyler Cohen about treating the subject of the autistic spectrum -- and autistic people themselves -- humanely and reasonably

Thank you.

I sent it to [your username] at livejournal. Let me know if that's not workable, and I'll send it somewhere else.

It printed out OK, and it's extremely good. I think we're just beginning to understand autism and related conditions. My own guess is that it's connected to attention disorders and I'm on the spectrum somewhere. Thanks again.

I'd like to see it if possible - what with my son definitely being on the spectrum and who knows about me and his other parent.

It hasn't arrived ... I have a basic account at Lj. Don't know if that makes a difference? I used to have a paid account but downgraded sometime a while back when I decided I didn't want to financially support them any more. I will email you my email address ... and if you could send it there that would be great. Thanks so much for your kindness.
