| “Associative Memory” might be like the “hyperlinks” you mentioned. Here is the URL with the parentheses replaced with percent-encoding: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_memory_%28psychology%29 I write much better on a Wiki than on an Essay. Wiki and hypertext is more like the way I think. |

| The basic (uncomfortable) question for parents of a high needs son is: is independence realistic? Road one: work on independence skills, job hunting skills, work-place etiquette, etc. You might hire a coach or (like us) plan weekly status meetings. There programs for individuals with autism for job ... |

My son used it heavily to pass senior (4th year) biology classes in college. I don’t think he could have gotten his degree without it.
I talked to my niece who was in medical school and she said she didn’t use it but a lot of her fellow medical students did. |
