I struggled to understand the course readings about autism and I had many unanswered questions. <BR/><BR/>Your openness and generosity, as well as your particular insight, were invaluable. Thank you for helping us see things a little differently.

I think in understanding Asperger Syndrome we can also understand a part of ourselves. I think that everyone has certain characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder. In saying that I think that individuals who are non-autistic should show individuals who are more reciprocity. I think that reciprocity is the key to having a successful relationship with a individual with Asperger's Syndrome. <BR/><BR/>I observe my nephew's actions daily and as I observe him I do not see an a incapable person, but a person that thinks a different way. I see a person who is extraordinary and brings different talents to this world. Thank you for mentioning him in your blog.<BR/><BR/>Once again, I enjoyed reading your blog and meeting you.Thank you for your insight and knowledge on Autism. I think that you were best class discussant we have had in the class because you actually have a true perspective on the subject unlike the others who just have the knowledge about it.

I enjoyed this post though the idea of everyone having to sit closer and closer as the room filled made me feel a bit twitchy!

I enjoyed listening to your comments and having you interact with the class. <BR/><BR/>I work with children who have behavioral issues and from time to time we will have a child admitted that has autism. One of these children specifically had AS. I loved learning about autism through working with them considering I knew very little before meeting them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for offering your insight on the discussions in class! <BR/><BR/>TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
