Aspergers101

For those of you who follow this site regularly…you know that I try to keep the subject matter educational, hopeful, insightful and primarily resourceful. However, one of the main reasons I dedicate my time to aspergers101 is in hopes of preventing any one person, diagnosed with High-Functioning Autism or Aspergers Syndrome, from bullying, unemployment or isolation. This story breaks my heart but I’m posting for further awareness of harmful acts upon those unable to decipher hate. As Dr. Tony Attwood stated to me once, those with Aspergers have a 100% chance of being bullied.  Be aware of actions around you (parents and teachers) and continue to educate on how wrong bullying is. Let’s make it our business!
