[QUOTE="keista, post: 431668, member: 11965"] Ekirsch, I'm echoing what MidwestMom and SRL said regarding Autism. You can't "see" it. It doesn't always look like "Rainman" I live in an area where there are many Aerospace companies. The big joke in our local support groups is that if anyone wants to study high functioning Autism, they have a HUGE pool candidates to study here. There are two shows on TV that I LOVE partly because the main characters are very "Aspie-like" Of course, these are works of fiction, and they don't claim that these characters have Asperger's or any other Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but the similarities to my sno are astounding. He often watches these shows with me, and I let him open the conversations of what he finds similar, of what traits he does have and wishes he didn't, etc My son is 15, so at his age this works for us. If you'd like to see a glimpse of how "normal" Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can look, check out Big Bang Theory (Sheldon)- I think there's a re-run on tonight, and Bones (Bones). No, definitely don't want your young son watching them because the material is not appropriate. by the way, many in my local support group are also convince that Bill Gates is an Aspie, and maybe even Einstein was. Enter Sheldon and Bones - both super smart characters. here's a link to the wikipedia page. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_speculated_to_have_been_autistic[/url] [/QUOTE]
