Creatively Ironic

I often read discriptions of what autism is and how it effects the child. Here is one of the shorter versions that was published today in an article called Judging Autism by Brandon Walters in Richmond, VA:

... a developmental disability that significantly impedes a child’s capacity to communicate, talk and socially interact with others.

The point of the article was about how judges are recently starting to side with parents on disputes regarding educational placement. I've never been to court with my two kids, but we have had to go to mediation - which in California is a step before going through a due process court proceeding.
