I gave:
Dr. Harold S. Koplewicz
Phone: 212-263-6205
a call today.
He was out, but his secretary seemed willing enough to connect me, so maybe I'll get a call back. I want to ask him how I should explain the Ransom Notes poster to my son if he should happen to see it. He's a child psychiatrist, so he should be able to explain the best way to lessen the trauma that reading an add like that would cause. If you know someone on the autism spectrum, why not give Dr. Koplewicz a call so you'll be prepped on how best to help if one of these billboards come into view while you are with that person. If you are on the spectrum yourself, maybe you have some ideas you could share with Dr. Koplewicz, so he'll be ready when people like me call up asking for advice.

This is a blog about a father's attempts to be useful to his thirteen-year-old son who has an autism diagnosis. - Siamo tutti autisti
"While I was sitting one night with a poet friend watching a great opera performed in a tent under arc lights, the poet took my arm and pointed silently. Far up, blundering out of the night, a huge Cecropia moth swept past from light to light over the posturings of the actors. “He doesn’t know,” my friend whispered excitedly. “He’s passing through an alien universe brightly lit but invisible to him. He’s in another play; he doesn’t see us. He doesn’t know. Maybe it’s happening right now to us.”

It's hard to keep the outrage under wraps but I'll practice my diplomacy skills.
Best wishes
This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.
That is great! Keep us posted.
Not likely he'll call back; I suspect he's been "out" whenever anyone has tried to call him the last few days.
Great question, though...
um...ridiculous. I just gave him the finger.
