I found this article today. It's about a Downs teenager, but the perspective is quite refreshing. :grin: Now we need a high profile article written by a sibling of an autistic.
My Turn Online: My Brother is Not His Disability

That was a great article. Thanks for sharing! It really reminds me that
The problem never has been the disability; the problem is (and has always been) society's beliefs about disability. - Kathie Snow

That would be great, or even something by an autistic.
I just noticed that you can submit your own piece of writing for that Newsweek feature "My Turn Online," so if anyone wants to write an article, you can e-mail it to myturn@newsweek.com
Sorry for editing again, but it also says that you can submit text, photo, and video submissions. Could this be a place to send the video AFF is making with the parents of autistic children? It might get good publicity, since it's Newsweek.
