Asperger's is one of several conditions included in Autism Spectrum Disorder, and is not necessarily to be taken lightly. ric, I don't think you're insane, but that's largely because I beleive that sanity is an illusion; all of us are insane to varying degrees, and it's the ones who think they are sane that we REALLY need to worry about.

If you're wondering why I know about Asperger's, there are 2 reasons: the first is that before I went to law school, I was a psych major; the second is that my youngest son has been diagnosed with ASD.

Hang in there, ric; if my son is any indication, there's plenty of hope for you.
