RE: [xmca] Developmental position at the University of Edinburgh

Gladly! SociAbility (www.sociabilitychicago.org) is a private therapy practice in Chicago's north suburbs, where we work with people on the autism spectrum to help them develop their social skills. It's every bit as weird and interesting a place as one might expect from the name.

Elizabeth, having entered (albeit unintentionally) into the xmca discussion, you *have * to explain this: SociAbility!  :)

By the way, I'd second Huw's comments: Edinburgh's a great place. Though the weather gets a bit chilly. What does your husband say?
