I have been reading about Autism and Aspergers syndrome for a few weeks now. For those who are not familiar Aspergers is considered, currently, to be a mild form of Autism. I don’t have words for why this specific social disorder has caught my eye, except for seeing Mary and Max at Sundance this year. Soon after seeing this, I met a gentlemand with Asperger’s and started reading a novel written by someone who has been diagnosed as well.
I have found myself fascinated by the various descriptions people have used in their own words. I have wanted to write here about Asperger’s syndrome, but I have been contantly afraid of not doing it justice.
One thing that definately interested me was whether this was hereditary. As, I read the descriptions it is incredible familiar. I wonder about people I know or have known in my life that are so similar to these people and characters. While there is no definitive information as to its hereditary links, it is my belief that something like this would tend to be hereditary.
I found this partial documentary on youtube.com and decided this is puts it better than I would ever be able. I hope that you enjoy. As always I welcome your feedback.
