We don’t even have one in our living room, lol, -- but in all sincerity, there is a really good show called Parenthood on NBC, and one aspect of the show is about how a family handles having recently found out their son has Asperger’s. (It brings me to tears at every episode, and it’s not a reality show, I’d check it out On Demand or Online if you find an hour to kill)… But one of the episodes recently was about how his parents had to explain to him that he has it, and through the advice of their specialist they were given this cheat sheet for their discussion of all the benefits to having the condition… His father thought that it was just a bunch of positive spin -- but he realizes when his son is able to remember and do these unbelievably impressive things, that there are very special aspects to having it. <br /><br />I wish I had something more contributive to say… I don’t know anything about it myself, but it sounds like your daughter is more driven and motivated than many people her age that I know. I think both of you might enjoy the show.Alicia https://www.blogger.com/profile/07692435395205403848noreply@blogger.com
