But a good article, it talks about parents with autistic kids. Just change "autism" with "asperger syndrome" and you have a nice article.

here:

a quote with autism replaced with AS

Quote:
Asperger syndrome is not an appendage

Asperger syndrome isn't something a person has, or a "shell" that a person is trapped inside. There's no normal child hidden behind the syndrome. Asperger syndrome is a way of being. It is pervasive; it colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion, and encounter, every aspect of existence. It is not possible to separate the asperger syndrome from the person--and if it were possible, the person you'd have left would not be the same person you started with.
