This new study puts autism rates in the U.S. at a startling 1 in 150 children. I wrote briefly about Paul Collins’s excellent book, Not Even Wrong: Adventures in Autism, on this site not too long ago. Another good book on the subject, written by an autistic woman, is Temple Grandin’s Thinking in Pictures.

Sans Serif began as a literary blog in September of 2005. Over time it has evolved into a more eclectic venture, with posts on books, politics, current events, literary happenings in the San Francisco Bay Area, publishing news, the writing life, and writing exercises. This blog is written by Michelle Richmond, author of four books of fiction: The Year of Fog, Dream of the Blue Room, The Girl in the Fall-Away Dress, and No One You Know (forthcoming, 2008).
