Randi Kaye file a report on Asperger Syndrome on last night's AC 360°. I managed to miss it, but from what I've read on a AC community I belong to, it was a pretty superficial piece. I'm currently trying to find a copy to watch, and I'll update this post as soon as I've seen it. The transcript is not up yet, and as soon as it is I'll post a link.
Here's a link to the AC 360° blog post about the story:
Sensory Overload Leads to Bad Buzz. There are some interesting comments to the post, and hopefully mine will show up sometime today.
ETA: It was an interesting piece about a young woman with Asperger Syndrome, and it focused mainly on her Sensory Integration Dysfunction rather than AS. In her interview, she said that Aspies don't like to be touched, but my son loves to cuddle, and sometimes is inappropriately affectionate. It would have been nice if the piece had touched on therapies for Aspies. It was interesting that the young woman had a service animal, a dog, who helped her anxiety and could help her to her car if she became overwhelmed. I'd never thought of that. She's a dog trainer, and she trained her own dog to help her. I have the clip stored on my computer. If you're interested in seeing the clip, just let me know and I'll upload it for you.
ETA: *smacks forehead* I forgot to post the link to the
transcript.
