Parents of Aspeger's (AKA Aspies) Children

[jaguar]

Richlevy is dead on, people that are at the top of their fields operate on a slightly different plane where the line between odd and things like aspegers start is a funny one indeed, hell one psych thought I might be for a bit (and dyslexic, that's another fuzzy-as-hell one). I know a number of guys who word in tech R&D, some of which have been diagnosed with aspergers, some not. They're all rather odd fellows, living rooms littered with circuitry, thousands of massive dry textbooks, they work strange hours and for insane stretches but in the end, they're happy, productive people who are responsibly for many of the breakthoughs that keep our world hurtling forward, just a bit different. In terms of school, I don't know if it exists anywhere in the start but any kind of selective-entry academy you can find might be the most productive environment, brilliant kids with poor social skills are rarely going to fit in well with the chaff.

Richlevy clearly knows the ins and outs of raising a kid with those kind of symptoms, I wish you the best of luck and hope that your child reaches his full potential.
