A great article on the topic

Just recently, they published an article on a girl with Asperger's Syndrome in my local paper, and, speaking as a fellow Aspie (person with AS) myself, I'd have to say that this is one of the most accurate articles on the condition that I've ever read. Check it out: http://www.boston.com/yourlife/health/mental/articles/2007/01/08/understanding_aspergers_syndrome/.

The cool thing is, this girl lives reasonably close to me. I just wish I could get in contact with her somehow. Ah, well. At least I know I'm not alone in being a depressed and anxious Aspie after reading that article.

EDIT: Also, I've been reading Songs of the Gorilla Nation, and it has spoken to me, too. Are there any other Aspies out there who really enjoyed and/or identified with that book?

Thank you for the link, I've been looking for info that was easy to understand. My sons therapist has set up testing for him in a couple of weekds and is certain that this indeed is why my son has struggled so much.

Thanks for that Article... I tend to question my diagnosis from time to time... probably because part of me doesn't want to have it... and this article lets me know that it isn't just me making it up. I relate so much to this girl.
