You mentioned that you are a 4th year clinical psychology Doctoral student at St. 's University in New York City. If you arecurrently studying Autism, have they not gotten to the point where theyexplain that Autism is a spectrum disorder? I would think that would be thefirst thing that would be covered, as it is in all the books that I haveread. So to say that kids with Asperger's are not kids with autism, is likesaying kids aged 6 - 12 yrs old are not kids. If you ** YOU ARE SO RIGHT !!!! Dryden, please understand that Aspergers is Autism, it is on the spectrum. High functioning yes, but it is under the AUTISM UMBRELLA, per se. IF you wish to have certain parents respond, then ask for EXACTLY what you are looking for, and indicate that you desire only those with low functioning Autism to respond and not Aspergers. Hope that helps... just a suggestion..... I do hope, as says, that you learn much while in your studies and learn about Aspergers being on the spectrum. :_) in IL Quote
