Noel,  Thank you for a thoughtful and interesting article. I'm curious if you (and others) who are autistic (or love someone who is) or work in the
sciences are troubled by the
confounding of these traits with a love
of comics/fantasy and their associated toys, movies, etc)? My sense

Hey Mark is that you? I'm sorry, but after going 8 years through grad school and only listening to NPR, hearing Isolation Drills and Bee thousand in the same month was too much. Maybe I went a little overboard, but I'm better now. Seriously, i'm better now.  Wanna hang out this weekend? I could show you pictures of…
