(for those that don't read "general discussion" here it is....
ttp://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/03/28/autism.essay/index.html
What an honest protrayal of a professional woman who describes her childhood, refers to herself as an aspie, and wouldn't trade who she is for anything. Beautifully example of tolerance for autism/self. |

I saw that in the News forum. 
Certainly makes it closer to home for the staff there tho. Makes them more aware. |

I thought it was written very well. Did you read it?
I also thought it was refreshing, the way she described the "otherness" she felt her whole life...
I think in order to understand our kids better, descriptions from an older person who grew up with AS is important.
I like that she is successful, overcame her own deficiencies and compensated.
What else can I say? I happen to like confessional writing.
What did you find NOT excellent about it?
