Thanks for going into such detail. > Sorry for getting a little ranty about it, but I have a few pet peves and one of them is someone saying "Autistic people lack emotions/empathy." Both are commonly said, and both are *very* wrong and agravate me to no end. Michael Harney [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
