Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi all, I have a neighbor/friend who has two sons that have been diagnosed with asperger's. I have tried to get her to join this group, but for some reason she doesn't want to. But she has asked me some questions today and I'm not sure how to answer. I am inserting part of her email to me to see if you can help me find answers for her. Thanks in advance. >I'm trying to figure out how much of Jon and 's >lack of certain >gross/fine motor skills are attributed to >Asperger's.
