I don't know if Alex has asked people this before, but I have thought of a couple people that I would want to see. Maybe someone like Thomas Armstrong (who recently published the book "Neurodiversity"; really good book by the way) or some leading researchers. Heck, maybe even a big name out there like Clay Marzo or Temple Grandin. Any thoughts?

I would say anyone that was not indirectly funded in its production by Autism Speaks. That would be awesome.

That sounds like a good idea. Maybe someone who is more of a positivist about ASDs, not saying everyone affiliated with them are all negativist about it (although a lot of them are). Bill Gates sounds like an awesome idea too. He would be hard to get an interview with, but he seems like a genuine guy. We should get Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in the same room lol.

Good idea but whoever pays the bills gets to call the tune. So Autism Speaks with their "I Am Autism" mentality just worms their way further into defining autism for the general public.
