NYT op-ed: Don't Blame Autism for Newtown

I thought this was one of the more thoughtful pieces I've seen. I appreciated it.

Auntie, I had to check the byline after the first few grafs, because it sounded so much like what you said the other day about waiting for "autism" to enter the conversation. I wondered if you might be a Times contributor IRL. ;)

I posted this on my Facebook wall. Loved it. The author's book about her son is amazing, too.

Not my work. I know a couple folks who write for the NYT, but alas, not I. It's a great piece. Priscilla Gilman has a book out-

A friend of mine read it; I wouldn't be surprised to see it under my tree next week.
