VS Ramachandran on autism. He cites recent evidence that children with autism have weaker responses in their mirror neurons when watching/trying to imitate actions. Mirror neurons are part of VS Ramachandran's big theory of conciousness (see his articles in Seed a while back), so it's interesting to see that he's found evidence to support at least part of his theories.
