What The DMS IV means to me.... by a Woman with ASThis article over at OASIS talks about what it's like to have Asperger's Syndrome. To give an idea about growing up with AS and a better understanding of the DSM criteria, she has pulled out some letters and articles that she's written and grouped them with her understanding of the diagnostic criteria. Very insightful - you can feel the frustrations the child must have faced prior to the adult understanding of the problem. Familiar notes on report cards and from teachers crop up in her description.
