Wow...A Reporter Got It Right (Vaccine Case)!

Kudos to The Macon Telegraph, and medical writer Marilynn Marchione (AP writer Kristen Gelineau and Mike Stobbe contributed).  This is a well-written piece on the "concession case," she did a great job explaining the case and showing both sides of the story.  It was nice to read a fair article on this.

This news clip is one of the more positive I've seen run.  It shows parts of an autistic first-grader's speech session.  Granted, I could nit-pick a few points, but all in all, this falls on the positive side of autism in the media.  If I didn't know what autism was, this story would help educate me a bit, give me some understanding, and (most importantly!) not scare me.  

The ST explains what they are working on in the session, but what I really liked was when she warns the public not to "be so judgemental" if you see a child tantrumming, etc.  I appreciate that!
