Hi AutismWriter, It's really great to meet you. And what a great outlet you've created for yourself - writing about your family and your son's condition. I guess autism is one of those things that people understand a lot more than they used to...but not as much as they should...yet. I've heard that it has become far more common than it used to be and I have to say I have no idea why that is. Hope you can share your insights with us here at WIM. Perhaps you could submit an article on the subject for us? (Just go to the Articles section and follow the instructions.)

I'm a moderator here at WIM, so please let me know if you have questions. I see you've already discovered a bunch of our fantastic member-created discussion groups. However, let me suggest one more, since you say you love tv and movies:
