You are an inspiration to Aspergers who will now know all about their problem.

Both of my sons, ages 7 and 14, have Aspergers. Due to the relentless bullying and the school systems taking them in the wrong direction we decided to start homeschooling and we are thouroughly enjoying it. I look forward to reading your book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-57932656437669954492007-09-23T10:12:00.000-04:002007-09-23T10:12:00.000-04:00Robert, Aspie always sounded to me like some kind ...Robert, Aspie always sounded to me like some kind of dangerous snake.

I encounter this all the time, and I work with teachers who, even though they know how to react to a child with an ASD, have a hard time transferring that knowledge base to interacting with an adult.<BR/><BR/>(By the way, I've always been fond of the term "aspie" myself.)<BR/><BR/>Robertcrysnrobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00294487499305425328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-54600426285124527242007-09-21T19:42:00.000-04:002007-09-21T19:42:00.000-04:00Joanne, I have no idea why you didn't hear of my b...Joanne, I have no idea why you didn't hear of my book till today.

I can't wait to buy your book for my 14 year old, who has Aspergers, along with a huge brain and an absurdist sense of humor. More people need to know that the 'weird kid' they've noticed at school may be longing for human contact but doesn't know how to go about it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for being a role model in an area too little understood or acknowledged!<BR/><BR/>xxoo JoanneSister Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105400876362635324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-78561000871385655732007-09-21T17:17:00.000-04:002007-09-21T17:17:00.000-04:00JohnYou are the living example of my motto."Don't ...John<BR/>You are the living example of my motto.<BR/><BR/>"Don't ask for an easier life, ask to be a stronger person."<BR/><BR/>You exemplify courage and strength.<BR/>You will accomplish exactly what you wish.
