Column

THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY

There is a Starbucks in our neighborhood that we sometimes visit to take our

minds off our son’s medical condition. On our last visit, there was a plastic

donation box for children stricken with autism, and a little plaque that read,

" Autism strikes one child in every 5,000. " I ordered my double-latte and thought

for a minute. Then I pulled out a red pen and deliberately defaced the sign,

writing, " In Oregon, autism strikes one child in 150! "
