An economics professor at George Mason University by the name of Tyler Cowen wrote an academic paper on Autism. I thought you all may find this interesting. I can't give an opinion either way because it's finals week, but I wanted to share this.

| So, I'm thinking of trying to get something together for Autism awareness month at CMU. Last year a class just showed the Rain Man and while I believe it was well intended, that movie kind of shows a tiny picture of what Autism really is. I'd like to get people that have Autism/Aspergers syndrome to... |

| I almost cried at work when I read that. I could totally relate to them. I actually sent them my own experiences. More people should do that. |

| No. I feel like I would waste my breath, watch them fake smiles while they think "when will this ret*d shut up" and they'll play it anyway. This school is run by frat boys on meth. |

| Anybody here an Autistic EMT or Paramedic? I'm about to take my NREMT's and I was just wondering how many Autistic people work in EMS. It seems like there are so many reasons why it'd be a difficult field for us. |

| I am the only high functioning Aspie I know. The only Autistic people I know are very low functioning. In fact this guy at work who is low functioning is one of the few people I really feel connected to at work.
