[Your Nightmare]

I didn't see it posted, but here's a link to the article Rush was talking about:

It turns out the the "even though nothing has changed" quote wasn't by the author.

Last July, Steven Miller, a university librarian, came across an article about a set of neurological conditions he had never heard of called autistic spectrum disorders. By the time he finished reading, his face was wet with tears.

"This is me," Mr. Miller remembers thinking in the minutes and months of eager research that followed. "To read about it and feel that I'm not the only one, that maybe it's O.K., maybe it's just a human difference, was extremely emotional. In a way it has changed everything, even though nothing has changed."

You know I don't think the guy is to be ridiculed. It must be amazing to live one's life knowing something is very very wrong and not knowing what it is and then finding a name for it and that others have it. I think that would bring anyone to tears. Why make fun of that is my question?
