ASPERGER STORY
This is a very special gift. I have had hands on with children who have Asperger, and they are very talented and way beyond their years in some areas. It takes them a while to warm up to a new person, but once they do they trust them with everything.
My youngest daughter has two friends of different ages that have Asperger.
The older one plays football, but has trouble with rules.
The younger one, picks up my books and reads it in one hour, but has no understanding of personal boundaries.
The older one has known he has Asperger since he was 8 years old and went through a program.
The younger one found out last year and the family is still trying to accept it.
You can see the difference between the two, but both have found a place in my heart, family and home.
