Today, we interviewed a teacher from Austria, Anita. She has been to many places around the world, and one of her students has a condition called Asperger Syndrome (AS), which is similar to Autism, but a rather mild version. I too am an Aspie, and I have never met anyone else with AS, at least nobody around my age. I have one friend who is an autistic Aspie, and I consider Temple Grandin my personal hero, but, again, I have never met anyone my age with AS or Autism.
This 13-year-old Aspie boy and I seem to have a lot in common in most ways but we are different in other ways. We both have occasional freak-outs, and we both understand our condition.We are different because I think he sounds more aggressive than me. Anita said that she would sometimes call the police, which put him higher on the Autistic Spectrum, and I am rather low.
I was really amazed to learn about another kid with autism, because I could totally relate to the problems that he and I both occasionally struggle with.

I admire Cady, you are a true overcomer, and I can see how much you'vw grown too accept it.
