Radio Tracking, Google Sources, and Old Flames Isn't it a little creepy when you use the "Referers" function on Radio and discover someone googling your name?  Is Newsweek correct when it says that these are old flames (or perhaps someone seeking a recipe for the evening meal??). 11:33:24 PM    comment [] Asperger's at Colleges and Universities: Accomodations Good or Bad? Just a brief note on Accomodations...While I support help for college students with AS or high functioning Autism, I think we need to be aware of the pitfalls of jumping to "accomodate" the student who becomes anxious when confronted with certain problems.  The AS college student, like anyone else, needs to learn to "endure discomforts or distress."  We need to teach AS college students how to "ride out their distress" (i.e., bring anxiety under extinction) so that they learn that they can accomplish much more that they may think.  Accomodations can be counter-productive if they teach AS students that other people will help manage their tensions and upsets for them.  I know this sounds like "Keep a stiff upper lip" or something of that sort, but its important nonetheless. 11:29:47 PM    comment []
