Autism/AS on the radio tomorrow
Tomorrow on the ABC Radio National show Life Matters there is going to be a special show on autism and Asperger syndrome. It is broadcast at 9.00am and you can also listen to it thru the internet. On the promo this morning the host Richard Aedy referred to autism and AS as "conditions" rather than using offensive medicalized language such as "disorders", and he also pronounced the name "Asperger" correctly. Thank you, Mr Aedy! I hope this means things are changing for the better with the way that the ABC and the Australian mass media reports on the autistic spectrum. We'll find out tomorrow.
