Good article, Mat. I don't know who wrote the article headline but it drew me in. I get your point and I don't believe it was mean-spirited at all, nor did it paint autism in bad light. In fact, he shows you as a compassionate writer.
This is a timely article. THis weekend the Park Circle Film Society is showing "A Place at the Table," a documentary about hunger in America: http://parkcirclefilms.org/films/place-tab…
Oh, you are right. It is awful. Worse yet, they're on 30 minutes earlier than they used to be. I can't even listen any more. I was hoping they would bring in another host and these folks would go back to the news.
Re: “Charleston Animal Society thinks outside the box to create a no-kill community”
One issue you failed to address in your article is that CAS takes in every animal that is brought to the facility. This is one of the unique challenges for CAS that other shelters in the community do not face.
