Liz Ditz http://lizditz.typepad.com/i_speak_of_dreams/ http://lizditz.typepad.com/academic_remediation/ On behalf of my fellow editors, Emily Willingham, Jennifer Byde Myers, and Shannon des Roches Rosa, I’d like to thank all of the 2010 contributors to The Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism. What follows is an alphabetical list of contributors, with links to their TPGA posts, their website(s) and twitter accounts (where available — some of our contributors have neither websites nor twitter accounts). Eighty contributors. 120+ posts. Many, many different perspectives on autism. Autism through the lifetime. Thank you all. Kate Ahern, Living the Least Dangerous Assumption.
