Temple
Nice piece on Temple Grandin. She was a college classmate of mine, but I rarely talked to her. She was clearly in a world of her own, but the movie with Claire Danes really opened my eyes to how she was different...and brilliant. The beginning was chilling on several levels. Temple has tremendous courage and has done incredible things for the autistic community and the world at large (BTW, I am a former SP blogger).

Child prodigies and autism
The Sunday NYT had an in depth article about child prodigies and their incredible abilities.

What if one child prodigy were assigned the task of understanding a child of similar age with autism? Perhaps such a combination would uncover information no one has thought of.
