SECOND LIFE WITH AUTISM
A colleague and I were talking the other day of the effect and some what chit chat from other colleagues about our recent interest in Second Life, Twitter etc., and that it has made us the talking point (Oh I didn’t know I was famous). That said, I don’t really care what people think of [...]
