Asperger Help

I was deeply moved by Mark Rosen's rousing testimony about the experiences of individuals with autism and the potential implications for parental discovery and educational applications. I applaud him for his courage in sharing his story, and also his bout with depression. I caution everyone to remember the underlying anxieties that individuals with autism express and the resulting impacts of depression. I was reminded again that I need to be watching for any signs of potential anxiety or depression in my own adolescent son. We must embrace understanding as a key factor in creating a "system of diversity" which honors and values the differences of others and their contributions.
