All done?

Whew, now I don't have to mention it again for a whole 'nother year. (Well, assuming nothing tragic happens in the world of autism, like autism speaks continuing to exist or something like that.)

I [heart] your poll.

Started reading Temple Grandin's "The Way I See It". Would love your thoughts on it, assuming you've read it (which seems like a fair assumption given your voracious reading habits).

Y'know, I did read one book by Temple Grandin a while back (a LONG while back), but nothing since. I keep intending to start going through the list of autistic authors (yes, there's a list, there's well more than just Temple Grandin on it) but I haven't ever done it because I don't know where to start.

We should make other ones, like "Are you aware of Breast Cancer?" or "Are you aware of AIDS?" or "Are you aware of Acne?"

Those are at least actual, bona fide diseases.

Although, on that note, it might be funny to write up an autism = acne comparison. Autism = deadly disease such as cancer has been done to death.
