Autism: Around the time I found out my wife's brother had Autism, I heard Science Fiction author Elizabeth Moon give a wonderful talk on the subject that still shapes my thinking on the topic. I rushed out to read her fiction, but found most of it to be hard-core military cruiser space opera that didn't appeal to me. I was slightly more interested in her fantasy.

But now, it seems, she's published the kind of book I thought she would have been doing all along, and she talks about it in this month's Locus.
