Guest guest Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Fwding msg: I was sent an email by a friend, Jeanne Janson, about a company that hires autistic adults. It reminded me of the science fiction book, THE SPEED OF DARK by Moon.Do you know it? It was published almost 10 years ago. It is written through the eyes of an adult with autism who works at a high tech medical facility that employs adults with autism for specific testing jobs. It is a fascinating read. Sounds like science fiction becoming fact.I have been very involved with autism for some 35 years working with some of the world's great autistic savant artists. I also produced the international, award-winning documentary film, WITH EYES WIDE OPEN, about Wawro, autistic savant artist from Edinburgh, Scotland. He and other savant artists can be viewed at Dr. Darold A. Treffert's web site: www.savantsyndrome.com click on savant profiles and the on Wawro, Christophe Pillault, and Ping Lian. Eleven minutes of my film can be viewed on the web site.ce A.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Dr. ce Becker and family are some of the most solid, intelligent, reliable, credible people I have ever met. True blue and true champions of autism and PWDs. He is a networker par excellence and probably will be a good contact for many of the people on this list in the future.
