Here's the link to my updated web paper:

In the 1980s, I drew weekly political cartoons and editorial illustrations for a newspaper in Pennsylvania. My predecessor there had been Signe Wilkinson, one of the few women publishing then in this area. She went on to national recognition. I did not. Some of my cartoons were quite good; most were so juvenile that I threw them away long ago.

 Riki’s representation of people with Neurotypical Syndrome fascinated me. If research is true, about 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical. To see if this was really true, I begged all of my friends to fill out a survey that supposedly tells you if you are neurotypical or not. A total of 15 people, including myself, took the quiz. Of those people, every single one scored a result high enough to be considered neurotypical. I realize this quiz is no substitute for a neurotypical test given by an actual doctor, but the results from it are still an indicator of how common the syndrome is.
