- About Me: I am the mother of two teenage boys with aspergers. My oldest was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at 5 and then rediagnosed before middle school with aspergers. He is now in college and my younger aspie is in a pre-college highschool program. My blog is about my adventure parenting these two boys. Hopefully something I write will help others. My intention is to pass on what I know has worked for my boys and hopefully it will work for your child as well. It's my version of paying it forward.

I want to thank Autisable for posting this video. However, the originator of the find is Sharon daVanport of the Autism Women's Network http://autismwomensnetwork.org/ . (a hat tip was given to Sharon in my original post) If you are a female with an autism spectrum disorder and have not joined this organization I highly recommend that you do so. It is a wonderful supportive environment.
Gah, I love this woman (: I spend a lot of time watching her on YouTube.
Thank you so much for passing along this amazing video. I've recently realized that I probably do have Asperger's rather than the ADD that I was diagnosed with as a child. When I told my husband this, he looked at me like I was a little crazy, because he sees autism as the severe form that our daughter has, not as something that people can have and function nearly "normally" in society.
Thank you so much for doing this video. You said so much that I would like to say and haven't
All the acting is exhausting. I get tired of pretending and go out less and less.
Don't let anyone else tell you who you are. You know and that is all that matters.
Oh yeah... that is totally dead on... and just by watching this video... yeah, I can tell she's an aspie... LOL Takes one to know one I guess?
This is my life. Thank you for describing it for my family and friends so that I don't have to find the words...thank you, thank you, thank you...
