Cory posted earlier this week about Amy Harmon’s excellent profile of an autistic 20-year-old, trying to find a place in the adult world. At her Culturing Science blog, Hannah Waters adds some nice perspective to the praise for Harmon’s work, noting that the story represents a rare instance of media portraying an autistic adult who isn’t some kind of quirky genius. Her post includes some moving stories about Waters’ brother—another non-genius autistic adult—and it’s definitely worth reading.
