Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Stuff, and nonsense.
So, I'm giving a talk at the Professional Staff Conference. Again. Which is next Thursday.
My subject is Autism 201, following on from the Autism 101 talk last year. (Linked video is to the repeat performance of that talk I gave a couple of months later.) I may need to explain the "201" joke, there ( Read more... ) -
