Alexis you're amazing
by: D. S. Walker

Alexis,
My daughter who is now in high school had similiar problems although maybe not quite as severe. She was diagnosed at age 10 and a year later just as she was doing better she experienced severe bullying at school. Luckily with my help her school made an effort to understand and support her. Consequently, she is now doing well. Our story inspired me to write a novel to try to teach tolerance and understanding of differences. It will be available soon and you can read about it at my blog if you wish. I encourage you to keep writing as it so important to educate others.
All the best,
D. S. Walker

Alexis : A true inspiration
by: Dianne

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your successes that were quite evident in your story. You see I can relate all to well to a lot of the adversity that you have faced in your life as I worked with children and adults with autism and asperger's for 10 years before I had my first child ,Blake, diagnosed with asperger's by the time he was 7. He will be turning 18 very soon and that is what brought me to this sight. He would like to apply for university/college and I was researching what I should know in order to set him up for success when I came across your article.
So after having read your story and reliving the tougher times that we went through with Blake, I have decided that one day soon I will write his success story because it is truly amazing and so is he ! You have had to endure a lot of pain, bullying and general unkindness from those around you that I believe has made you the strong , successful lady that wrote this story. We chose not to tell Blake about his diagnosis because I felt that he needed to be treated like our other 2 children, just with more compassion and understanding. Thus he was sheltered from abusive and unkind people for the majority of his life and it is tough for me to read what you battled with. So having said that
I commend you on being such a brave and intelligent person and wish you continued success as an author.

Author and Intellectual
by: WDB

You seem like you got the two wrapped up for your advantage. Several of the things you mentioned I could relate to but some I didn't.

But you should go on with writing a book. There could always be more personal stories of Aspergers. More is needed because eeach person has a different presentation and experience.

Keep up the persistence...!

i would love to share something with you
by: Ashley

Alexis,

If you read this and feel you would like to do so, I would love it if you would contact me. My little brother has aspergers which is why I was on this site to begin with. I read you story and am truly inspired by you. I have some things myself that I would like to share with you if you would allow me to. I think a lot of it would make a lot of sense to you and would make you very happy. If you do not feel comfortable contacting me since I am someone on the internet I totally understand and would take no offense. But if that is the case please look online and do some research about indigo children. I believe you might find this to fit you quite well. Also there are several forums and websites with children like you who talk all the time about the types of things I believe you would like to talk about with someone your age. You are true gift to this planet and I am sad that the people in your life didn't take the time to embrace you and your gifts. But I am happy that you are confident in yourself because you are so precious and deserve all the happiness in the world. My name is Ashley and if you can my email is aocken23[at]gmail.com. I think you are amazing and I can't wait to share your story with my brother. Thank you for sharing this with the world.. I hope they are all so lucky to read it!!

Book Reviews Coming Soon!

I'm so tickled that authors have been contacting me and asking me to review their new books for them.

For as much time as I spend researching Asperger's Syndrome this website should have thousands of pages but because my son has Asperger's Syndrome I find that the things I want to work on very often are not the things that I have to work on so I'm still not able to spend as much time on it as I'd like to.

As he heads into adulthood (he turned 18 on Dec 13 and yes I need to update some things at my website such as my home page that says he's 17) I'm finding that I have even less time on my hands as I spend more time trying to master the puzzle of how to help him transition into "life after high school".

But because I want to learn all about Asperger's and now I plan on creating a section that has our own experiences along with ideas and suggestions as to what might help anyone else going through this same transition I really want to spend some time reviewing books to help others gather ideas on what books they'd like to look into.

I plan on posting those reviews here. :)

Please contact me if you'd like to send a copy of your book to me for review. I would absolutely love it!

Fiction, Non-fiction, Auto-Biographies, etc. I'm interested in them all. :)

Currently I am reading and preparing to review Wicked Good by Joanne Lewis and Amy Faircloth. It's about a woman named Archer and her son Rory who has Asperger's Syndrome.

It's a fictional novel and there are parts in there, even right at the beginning, that hit so incredibly close to home for me. There are definitely some things in there that don't fall in line with my life but I'm sure that's the same for pretty much everybody - but to see what this mother and her son go through as they both struggle to navigate the twists and turns of Rory's Asperger's Syndrome opened my already incredibly wide eyes to things that could be going on inside my own son.

As a mom with a son with Asperger's Syndrome I know that it's really hard to find time to read for pleasure. If you do have the time, pick up "Wicked Good" and see if you find it as interesting as I have.

It's available in both paperback and Kindle versions.

Thank you!!
