Hello again,
Our son, Nate, is 26 & lives with a roommate in an apartment about 10 min from us. He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when he was 18. I have so very much to share to help educate all who read, about Asperger's Syndrome. I almost don't know where to start, but I guess the best place in at the beginning, hmmmm, or start with the present & have flash backs, which I will likely end up doing anyway.
Nate is enjoying living on his own, though he doesn't get along with his present roommate. Nate talks a lot, his roommate is very quiet, not a good combination. One of the main symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome is a great lack of social skills, which makes finding a good roommate very difficult. They have been together for over a yr & are very ready for a change, which is on the way. His roommate is leaving in a couple of months. What's next for Nate, not sure, yet, but there is a possibility of a solution. We shall see.

Good to meet you Patricia and Art and Nate and Abigail. ...I should tell you that I'm a quadruplegic, the victim of an automobile accident when I was 12, and using a motorized scooter to get around. Lori met me in San Diego back in April I believe. ...As time permits I look forward to communicating to you guys. ...And I live with my dad in Northern CA, 15 minutes north of Berkeley (on Hwy 80). ...And nice blog, by the way. :)
Hello Ovid,
So very glad to meet you. Thank you for telling me a little bit about you. I look forward to getting to know you better. I read the book "Joni" & many of her books since. She is a quadruplegic, from a diving accident, if I remember correctly, when she was a teen. Her story is fascinating & she has been an inspirational speaker for many yrs. She is also an artist, paints holding the brush in her mouth. Her website is, http://www.joniandfriends.org/.
I know you have had your challenges in life, also, and I am sure you have learned to be a great overcomer.
Again, I look forward to getting to know you. Patricia
