Oh, and P.S. there are workaround for a whole bunch of things.
One thing I do is tell people up fromt - not a label which gives people the wrong idea or scares them (DO read Elizabeth Moon's "Speed of Dark". That poor sucker needed a labelectomy above all!) but that, in context, I "have a bit of trouble with" whatever it is.
For example, "I'm sorry, I have trouble recognizing even people I know across the room," (takes off glasses and cleans them), "would you mind letting me know you're here?"
or "I'm sorry, certain frequencies go right through my head, it's the way my ears work. I saw the audiologist..."
Well, you get the idea. http://idiotgrrl.livejournal.com/

So I just had to share. A very interesting article. Even more interesting, for me, was the site itself. My daughter was just diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD (inattentive type). I know there are (or were) some on this list with AS or ADHD. Any recommended sites out there for a Mom and Dad struggling to put some order into all this chaos? - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
