I may have opened up a can of worms elsewhere, so here's a little "support group" for anyone who wants to join in.

That's great, I may get a better understanding of Asperger's in it's many forms, as I am told that it manifests itself in many and sometimes markedly different forms.

If it helps anyone it's gotta be a good idea.

Thanks Claus, I have just had a quick look at the site and read a few lines, it is all interesting as he has views of both himself as a clinician and those who have Aspergers.

Until now, I have never really thought about it much, I have always just accepted Annie as a lovely child with problems, particularly with those who try to make her conform. I hope that by reading the experiences and particularly the feelings of those who have AS I will better understand it and hopefully enrich our lives in some small way. She is a lovely, and different young lady in so many ways.
