An interesting new site is out there for y'all to check out: Autism and Empathy.
As the editor and publisher (Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg) writes,
This site exists to undo the myths about autism and empathy that have stigmatized autistic people for so long.
It features writing by autistic individuals, by autism parents and family members, by autism professionals, and by others who understand that autistic people, all along the spectrum, can experience the world in highly empathetic and sensitive ways. Telling our stories, describing our experiences, and speaking the truth in our own voices, we can break dehumanizing stereotypes and increase understanding.
What I have read so far is very thought provoking - a truly great compilation of writing.
