Hans Asperger & the Nazi Party
Was Hans Asperger a Nazi Party member? He was a doctor at the University of Vienna during the Third Reich.

We have the kit, but haven't taken him to the lab to get any of the samples drawn; the test is expensive, nearly $700.

being my autistic self
I think I've been scolded/questioned enough about 'isolating' myself that I don't let myself do it. I'm quite comfortable being alone much of the time but people seem to not like it. earlier this month with the beginning of school I started remembering the earlier years of school. I knew I blocked it out. I'd tried... 29 Oct 2005 14:17
