A Mother Remembered: A Year Later (Part I)
Posted on: March 1st, 2012
Sections → Family → Parenting Our ChildrenIn her ninety-eighth year my mother beat pneumonia twice. She always said that she would know when her time was up – and she did.

Professionals still debate as to whether Asperger’s Syndrome is “high-functioning autism” or whether it is its own disorder completely. Regardless, in 1994, Asperger’s Syndrome was added to The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as a separate disorder from autism.
