Wanted to fill out survey for two different people with very different presentation, but it wouldn't let me-- sorry!

Oh no! Well, if you didn't fill it out for either, C says you can put that in the extra notes section and he will take it into account when he looks at the tallying. Otherwise, thanks for filling it out once! It's just a built-in survey thingie. :)

I filled the survey in for the one-- the other guy I'm thinking of was such a contrast.
Did comment in the notes box, in any case! I may try again tomorrow and see if it gives me another shot at it!

I worked in a schizophrenia clinic for many years-- you'd be amazed how many people we rediagnosed with autism or Asperger's. Some docs just lump "odd" and "psychotic" into the same bin, I guess.
But a schizo diagnosis and its accompanying meds weren't helping these folks very much. o_0

No doubt. Thanks, Liz!

I'm forwarding this link to a friend of mine with Asperger's, and of course I'm going to fill it out for Arie.

Thank you, dollie! You are the best!

[haddayr]

Oh. I'm also forwarding this to my various e-lists.

I responded as I've had a few Asperger's students go through my classes. I'll let others know who may be interested.
