As author Temple Grandin puts it in relative terms that we can understand-autism is just another way of thinking.

Great short article in Fortune April 2012 giving some insight into why the Middle Class has fallen due to the economic downturn in our society. Geoff Colvin explains that education is the key factor in returning our society to better times.
