Check out Justin's Madhouse. It's a history of the band, it explains it all there. It's under the archive portion of the site I believe. It's been a while since I've checked it out but it's VERY informative.
My son has a friend in class that has autism. It's the biggest stress for the family, you cannot imagine, so cut Spitz some slack here.
P.S. He doesn't have much time on his hands, it's on his wrist LOL.
