NPR Interviews Autistic Researcher

Lisa Daxer was interviewed on NPR recently. I did not hear the interview, but I did read the article linked below, and it is excellent.

Autism Gives Woman An ‘Alien View’ Of Social Brains : NPR

Lisa is an autistic college student, who, like I did, became a lay anthropologist in order to understand the people around her. She is an excellent writer as well. I strongly urge people to read this interview.

Lisa also has a blog, Reports from a Resident Alien Her post of 23 August, 2010, Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Autism, is a superb summary of non-clinical facts about autistic people / Aspies.
