When I first wrote about the Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism (TPGA) I mentioned I planned a series of articles. Multi-part discussions of books have been done before on Left Brain/Right Brain but usually for books that are, shall we say, less helpful than TPGA.
TPGA is a series of essays. Some are as short as two pages. Some up to 5 ...

I am working on this as series of posts in reation to some of the "lists" I have been seeing about autism and children with autism. Some of the lists are good. Some of them are not. I'm going to start with one that is well-intentioned and useful, but which obscures problems associated with autism and getting services for children with autism.

If it counts for anything, though, I have thought about finishing and posting this essay I started back in 2009 nearly every day.
