Re: Invitation to a survey...

[Guest guest]

Billl,

I have opinions, but do not know if they are quite fair. I have never been a parent of a child dx AS. My three are NS, in the terms of this list. I do know that I wish that I had known as a child. Should I still try the survey?

By now most of you know I was introduced to Asperger's Syndrome by a 10-yr old boy -- shipmate on a Galápagos cruise several years ago. Before long I had presented myself to a Clinical Psychologist for assessment, and yep, ...AS! Shortly afterward the boy's mother and I became acquainted. We (and the boy) met several times in their home.In the meantime, she completed her Master's in Counseling. For awhile now she's had a Counseling practice in the SF Bay Area, catering to AS kids and their relatives.Her practice's website: <http://www.evolibri .com/>...whereon you'll find she's _conducting a survey_ (for the USA) about When and How and By Whom kids should be TOLD ABOUT their diagnosis.Including How and When *adult AS* think *we* should have been told. And what benefit do *we* think *we'd* have gained.Thereon

also are links to who she is, how she came to do what she's doing, and what else all that 'doing' is.She's a competent, thoroughly professional lady: the survey is *short* and *confidential* .If you have opinions on the matter(s), please _take the survey_.- Bill, 76, dx AS-- WD "Bill" Loughman - Berkeley, California USAhttp://home. earthlink. net/~wdloughman/ wdl.htm

Absolutely! *You're* AS; she's asking also how " you " might have wanted

to be told... Re-read below.
