Thank you. Didn't mind you butting in. I will give these to my friend too.

She helped me so much last year when Buzz started with all this. I just want to

help her in any way I can.

Re: Re: (OT)One more thing --Asperger's Disorder

Amy-

I hope you don't mind me butting in. But I just heard about Asperger's for

the first time a couple of weeks ago while I was vacationing back home. My

grandmother read an article about it and became convinced my uncle has this.

He is grown and functioning well -- working but living with my grandmother.

He is definitely different, but seems fairly happy with his life. My

grandmother had him to numerous psychiatrists when he was young, but he was

never diagnosed with this disorder. It does seem to fit him to a tee.

Anyway, my grandmother had asked me to find information on it, so I've been

browsing web sites. Thought I'd give you some links. For physicians:

www.aspergers.com/asplist.htm (In Alabama, the only doctor listed is Dr. G.

Shehin in Gasden). Also: www.aspergers.com;

www.familyvillage.wisc.edu/lib-aspe.htm (lots of links); www.asperger.org;

www.webring.org/cgi_bin.webring?ring=b(links), and for Alabama, the autism

society: www.autism-alabama.org. Again, sorry to butt in, but it was just so

weird to hear you raise this issue when I'd just been researching it.
