Ah, found it. It sounds like an interesting program. I wish something like that was happening here in the Twin Cities.

Yes, I've read that story before. As with "Ben X", I think it's a food introduction to one person's experience. The book doesn't make an autism connection explicit, but it's pretty obvious to people who read it that the connection is there. (Although I disagree with the math example presented in the book. I think the author gets it wrong.)
