This is a reprint of Ariane Zurcher's post, with her permission, which you can read on her blog Emma's Hope Book.

As a direct result of last Saturday’s flash blog and thanks to the hard work by Yes, That Too, Unstrangemind and many other Autistic bloggers, this happened - Google Changes Policy for Autism 

While those policies have not yet gone into effect, it is hopeful news and a wonderful first step.
