That's a great article. The photographs were really nice. Thank you for reminding me to check it out.

I found that they'd let me sign up without giving my home address etc. I just gave them my name and email and picked a password.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

I just subscribed to The Autism Perspectives e-Zine, When I have time I'll go through all the back issues.

you have to "sign in" with your name, email, and choose a password. WHY? I don't know. It seems like that would discourage people from reading the magazine, which is free afterall. Anyway, I thin kit was worth it. I plan on going back and reading some of the articles too.

I can't get it to work. I just get the same page again, and if I try again I get a blank page. So much for being free...

It may be a problem with your browser. I know it works with my Seamonkey, so I guess it would work fine with Firefox. It's a HORRIBLY intensive website. Once fully in, it has all these clever graphical page-turning effects. I find it abysmal. So much so, that I can't get up the effort to read any more of the magazine beyond the article on Alex. Even that was a struggle, with all the "pretty" effects.

I was able to make a password and get in to download it, only problem is that it goes to the summer issue, and not the one with Alex in it, despite clicking on that issue!

Obviously they have a lot of work to do to make this accessible online. I believe this is the first ever "online issue" and before it was a regular printed magazine. I wish it still was printed. There's something nice about flipping through shiny pages with your hands, then filing it on a shelf.

Then again, I'm a bibliophile, not a technophile.
