The only thing I like about the updated versions is they changed the ending of A Wizard Alone because the original ending was not, uh, good (autistic wizard leaves his autism behind with magic and becomes 'normal' and that's a happy ending because fuck autistic people I guess, can't be a wizard unless you're neurotypical). I'm glad Diane Duane presumably reread it when they were updating the books and realized how bad it was.

Aw, I really liked the ending. What did they change it to?

[(Anonymous)]

He chooses to stay autistic now, which I think is the better ending. I don't like the idea that as an autistic person my happy ending is to be 'cured.'

[(Anonymous)]

IIRC he was mute, unable to communicate and essentially locked into his body. Like at the lowest level of functioning. Autism shouldn't be stigmatized, but when it impacts a life to the point a person can't engage at all with the world, I don't think that needs to be celebrated.

DA - yeahhh. I mean I get where other anon is coming from and respect what they're saying, but I get a little frustrated when people don't take nuance and individual situations into account. It's like the whole X-Men thing where Rogue wanted to be 'cured' because she couldn't touch anyone and then Storm or whoever is like "be proud of who you are how dare you want a cure." Really easy for people who can live a relatively "normal" life to say they don't want a "cure".

All that being said, it really would have been better if the author just hadn't traveled down that plot path in the first place.
