In My Language

An autistic person’s explanation of her experience with language:

“This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.”

Profound. Fascinating.

Stay with it. It’s worth it.

Hi.

My name is Bernie McGinn, and you are reading my web-based junkdrawer. I live in San Francisco, California. I work for CNET Networks as Product Manager for CNET News.com and CNET Blogs.

Last century, I played in some bands and ran a record label.
