In this Curtain@8 interview Joe Conkwright chats with Jennifer Noonan, the author of No Map to this Country: One Family's Journey through Autism.
Quote: "Part of the torture of autism is that the future is so impossibly unsure. Your child might become a fully functioning member of society and appear no different than anyone else, even if he does have to look at mouths instead of eyes and can't stand to give his own kids a bath. Or, he might be so violent that he requires institutionalization...Either way, you're expected to work your ass off for it."
