I will remember that in the future. Since I've been linked to far more of the relevant sites through far more interaction than most people, I can try to find a couple of them. This attempt to rewrite the diagnostic criteria has gotten a lot of praise; this discussion thread is about emotions in people with Asperger's. There's an anonymous contribution on accessportrayalhere. If you're really serious about this series, enough to pay for the information, there's a new book out called The Loud Hands Project: Autistic People, Speaking, and there's a much older book out called Maverick Mind. (I met both the author and her autistic son, Whitney, when he was in high school.)
I've noticed already how the later poems branch out into other depictions. The society in the first poem seems much more uniform and stereotypical, and the others build in more variation. I like the pattern very much.
Then my leading questions are useful? Wonderful. I'll ask more! What happens when (or if) Operetta and Weavercreep (or any other pair) reproduce out there? What will it be like to raise children in space on what were once military ships? Will you go with the idea that it's likely genetic, and have all of the children be on the spectrum? What will this society do when some of its next generation aren't quiet techies, and present with more obvious disability?
