[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 438768, member: 1991"] Malika, you have been very much on my mind for the last few days. On Friday on the radio here in Australia, there was an interview with Professor Tony Attwood, a world authority on Asperger's Syndrome. He made the point very clearly that Asperger's, like other forms of autism, is a neurological condition. Too many people still label it as a mental disturbance or similar mental illness condition. it is not. ADHD is also neurological. But what really shocked me, is when Tony Attwood said that in France, the "cold mother" theory on the cause of autism and Asperger's, still prevails. It could explain a lot of the flak you are copping. He said he is visiting France often, to give talks on this to professionals as well as others, but it is difficult to change this view when psychiatrists make their money out of it. The link is: [url]http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2011/06/17/3246425.htm?site=sydney[/url] Go get it fast, it will probably disappear after a couple of weeks. husband & I listened to it on Saturday evening when we drove to a dinner. The talk goes for about 45 minutes. Marg [/QUOTE]
