Autism Articles... there are a few...

Hollywood Takes on Autism from The Daily Beast - sort of the current face of autism in the media, from Dear John to Parenthood.
The Autism Vaccine Debate: Who's Afraid of Jenny McCarthy? from Time - I need to reread this article and digest this article before I write about it.  When you have been given three copies of Mother Warrior, you start to feel that you are getting Jenny shoved down your throat.  Add to it that she had success in an area where you have failed (biomedical interventions) and embraced the theory that you never really have (vaccines), you start to have very mixed emotions about the woman.  On one level, I respect her greatly.  On another, she makes me crazy.  Anyway... more later.  But read this...
Seeking Common Ground on the Vaccine-Autism Debate from the Boston Globe
The Bonding Hormone That Might Cure Autism from Newsweek on Oxytocin
