"Love and Autism" on NPR today

...I only caught part of it, but NPR invited the two kids featured in the NYT article entitled, "Love and Autism" and the whole discussion was about AS and realtionships and sex.  Super interesting and the people who called in were great.  Anyone else have a chance to listen?

...I loved when the Dr. said if us NTs are so good at reading social cues and adapting to social situations, then why can't we interact with non NTs better?

I am going to re-listen to it so I can hear the entire hour of it- I only caught about half of that!
