On 2 January, 2011 By Liz

Aspie-World?

On 4 December, 2010 By Liz
In the last few days, I have followed two entirely separate paths to posts by Rudy Simone. My last post on Female Aspergers was one, today I have another. Imagine A World Where Aspergers Was The Norm In this blog post, Ms Simone describes a world where Asperger’s behaviors are the norm, and NT behavior [...]

Female Aspergers

On 26 November, 2010 By Liz
I came upon this list of traits of women/girls with Asperger’s Syndrome in an unexpected place, but from my personal knowledge and experience, it seems very accurate. The original appears, in a barely readable form, on help4aspergers, a website maintained by author Rudy Simone. Rudy, if you are reading this, I hope you don’t mind [...]

Eye Contact, PhD Level

On 22 November, 2010 By Liz
We all hear how people with Asperger’s Syndrome have poor eye contact. Eye contact skills can be learned, and many classes for AS kids work on basic eye contact as a skill. “Eye Contact 101” has become a catch phrase for classes on beginning social skills. Eye contact is far more than just looking at [...]

I.S.N.T.: Humor that Bites

On 27 October, 2010 By Liz
I just found out about the Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical.  Though this site is a humorous parody, there’s a lot of truth here. As the author writes: About a year ago I learned I was on the autistic spectrum. Inspired by this discovery, I read everything I could get my hands [...]

Can Autism be Cured?

On 7 October, 2010 By Liz
Every so often, I read about some herbal preparation, nutritional supplement, or alternative therapy that is supposed to cure autism, or at least lessen the severity of autistic behaviors. At first, I thought this was complete nonsense. But then I heard about: how heavy metal poisoning produces autism-like behaviors; how some diseases or environmental factors [...]

College Readiness Checklist

On 5 October, 2010 By Liz
I seem to be coming across lots of checklists lately. This one is from Landmark college (thanks, Nancy), and is intended for parents to use to decide whether their learning disabled child is ready for college. Since the skills are a good list for any student who may need special services, I’m including the list [...]

Social Skills Menu

On 4 October, 2010 By Liz
From time to time, my daughter’s special education staff hand me papers with bits of useful information. The following lists come from a textbook, but I don’t have a reference. [If anyone knows where this comes from, let me know.] Some of the items refer to other sections of the book, and I don’t know [...]

The Lonely NT

On 8 September, 2010 By Liz
Another answer to a question from one of the e-lists I’m on. Lots of times, a neurotypical (NT) partner of an Aspie complains that their relationship leaves them feeling lonely. So, today’s question is: Can anyone on the list suggest strategies that can help the AS partner improve the ‘lonely place’ their partner is in?? [...]
