My middle son (10) definately has Asperger's syndrome. (Aspy). For those of you that dont know what this is, it is a mild form of Autism. Some characteristics include not maintaing eye contact, poor social skills ie interacting with others, appear to be in their own world alot, and an interest in detail, almost to obsession. In looking over my life, it seems that I too am an aspy but was never diagnosed. I have MANY coping skills that I have learned. One strong commonality with Aspys (esp males) is interest in electronics.
I was wondering if there were others out there in this community that are famailiar with AS (asperger's syndrome) or have been diagnosed with AS.
There was a show on NPR's dianne Reahm (sp?) show on october 2. you can find the archive somewhere arounf NPR.org. The title of this guys book is "Look Me In the Eye" IIRC.
I may add more information later on living with AS as it pertains to my hobbies and life.
