I think it's a dangerous and foolhardy endeavor to single out autistic contributors for special treatement - which is, after all, what most of this discussion about autism entails. Psychologists - trained professionals - are ethically prohibited from making such diagnoses without meeting a patient in person. So, rather, now our admins are supposed to do what even trained professionals will not. Furthermore, it's inherently bad policy to treat one particular group different than others (different, for better or for worse). Not only is it insulting and likely to cause far more problems than it would actually, but it is guarenteed to be riddled with errors (statistical type I and type II). This idea needs to go into the "circular file" post haste. -Mark
