Today we talk with Susan Etlinger of The Family Room about her own experiences with a son on the Autism spectrum. Susan blogs at BabyCenter and Silicon Valley Moms. We discussed the the recent article by David Wolman of Wired Magazine called The Truth About Autism: Scientists Reconsider What They Think They Know and the article from 2001 by Steve Silberman called The Geek Syndrome.

LISTENER FEEDBACK:
Micah recommends the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY.
Karen recommends Mamalogues, a blog about homeschooling by Dana Loesch. In reference to that, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the California homeschooling case will be reheard.
I love your podcasts :)

Thanks for the link. I'm stoked about the rehearing of the CA case - ridiculous that it even occurred in the first place.
