I am on the board of directors of Austistic Services, Inc in Buffalo NY. Temple has taught me a lot about autism and life.  thanks for bringing attention to this concern.

Yes maze, that is an amazing book and she is amazing period.  I borrowed the book from the library and of course I have about 5 going at once so it is taking awhile for me to get through it.  I keep telling myself to just turn the book back in to the library because I've read enough, and then I pick it up again and keep going.   Amazing stuff.  And yes, we are learning not just about autism, but about life, and about the nature of humans, and how we define intelligence, etc.
