April 2 is Autism Awareness Day [update]

Update: Fordham University Prof. Lance Strate has a great blog post about the labels applied to autism and creating a culture respecting difference: From Dissed to Specialist. Very much worth your time reading — and please watch the embedded ABC News clip about a Danish software company which exclusively hires autism-spectrum workers.
