New (to me) Site
I just wanted to draw your attention to a link that I added recently under the I Visit header. The name of the blog is Chaotic Idealism. This blog is authored by Lisa Daxer who is autistic. She is also a really good communicater and writer. You may have heard the interview with her that was recently broadcast on NPR’s “All Things Considered”.

Her blog is fascinating.

I’ve read plenty of things about autism over the years. Always, always, I enjoy the accounts of autism from the inside more than anything else — especially compared to the “what to do now that your child has been given a tragic diagnosis” types of books and most definitely the “I’m wealthy and famous and had a child with autism but he’s cured due to my devotion and not the truck load of money that I dropped on the problem and isn’t that swell” type of book. Humpf! Okay, I’m not even going to get started on that rant, because I like y’all too much to expose you to the grouch who goes by the name of Annie.

So, check out her blog if you get a chance. I don’t think that you’ll be sorry that you did.

Have a good Thursday, y’all!
