Reminds me of this mis-attributed quote: "Show me a young conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains."

Maybe one of the reasons is that there is not a definitive diagnosis/screening, hence a significant rate of misdiagnosis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism#Screening I've even seen claims of 1 in 120 people having some degree of autism

Sorry, I still don't understand why their is so much hype over the "3-D Wonders", it's nothing revolutionary. "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" came out 9 years ago with comparable details for example. Plus it wasn't a knockoff of the Poc

It would be better if it compared JavaScript 1.8.2 to Haskell instead of plain ES3 + some library. Some JavaScript examples like the following would have been nice: #15: function f(a, b) a + b; #16: function f(a){ function g(b){...}
