I really like this one!

Interestingly, I just read an article on the subject that I think might fit on this thread: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2012/07/11/is-autism-an-epidemic-or-are-we-just-noticing-more-people-who-have-it/

Glad you guys like it Smile

momsparky good article... a very debatable topic indeed! i find so many autistic traits in ourselves, individually and collectively. i also see it as a sort of intolerance issue... autism seems like a high-reaction intolerance to textures, environment, sounds, people! but collectively isnt the society being intolerant as well? many things we accept without questioning like traffic rules or how we should keep pets on a leash... take landscaping all around our cities... isn't it intolerant for us to cut up tree branches and remove bushes we don't know about and blow away leaves. Why can't we let go a bit and leave nature take its own course? Home associations for god's sake... they send out notices on not to keep garage doors open for too long, remove things from balconies... spoils the aesthetics! i see these all as autistic traits... only it is coming from an authority by a collection of people! Very amusing to me all this Smile
