"Who in the world is Delmar?" is among the best articles ever written about aspies.
It is fascinating, humorous and thought provoking.
It does a great service for the autistic community, by showing to the public that in spite of our difficulties, we can be lively,
colorful and courageous individuals.
Just as Charlotte would be a duller place without Delmar Williams, the whole world would be a duller place without aspies:

I believe that I may have met this person when I lived in Charlotte. Interesting story.
