Does anyone from the "old forum" remember...

... who it was who had Asperger's Syndrome? I have a friend from high school whose daughter has recently undergone a lot of testing. They are leaning toward Asperger's and should know for sure soon. In the meantime she has been doing a lot of reading and when she mentioned it I remembered a long post about it on h.com. Unfortunately, I looked over there and it seems that all of that great old information has been wiped out. If I can remember who it was, and if they're still around (and one of the "friendly ones" in our group) I thought I'd see if they were willing to talk to my friend.

Thanks!

Was it Fredalina?

I think that's right, but I'm also not sure she's been here. Not under that name anyway...

[lovesfortune]

I was going to say LisaKaye (sp?).... although Fredilina sounds maybe right too?

[SedonaThunder]

Oh - it was Fred! And I'm pretty sure someone else chimed into that thread and had a child with or something like that too. I'll have to go see if Fred is around over there anymore.

definitely was fredilina - she stopped posting a long time ago on horse. I'm pretty sure BadLands son has it also - she can probably offer some insight.

Myself - I have dated a guy with aspergers so understand quite a bit about it.

ETA - I know off alot of forums about AS as well if you are interested. Both from the aspies perspective and not.

I'm pretty sure it was her...

I've got an online buddy with it...and she has a blog that somewhat follows it and her life with it
She usually puts some good articles she finds on there too

I taught a few Boy Scouts with AS when I worked at a BSA Camp. It was different, but unless you were notified that they had AS, you just thought of them as slightly outspoken and at times a bit rude and not really ones to join in on everything...but for the most part, pretty normal.

It was Fred.

Ah ah just hang on. Fred has autism, which is on a different end of the autistic spectrum than Asbergers Syndrome. I don't remember anyone having Asbergers particularily, but I know Fred had autism. She and I talked a lot because my brother has it as well. My two cousins have Asbergers and there is a difference between the two.

Fred is high functioning Autistic. I have not seen her here or on the other forum either. I do have a 16 year old son who has Asbergers as well s being high functioning Autistic. I can talk to her if you or she would like. I am having some family issues and haven't been on much lately but pm me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

[TheBadLands]

My son and yes, Fredalina also

[<3_RedDuns!]

My cousin has it so I know quite a bit about it...but he is only 6 years old.

[shiver]

Yup, Fred.

But my daughter has it too.

I never realized that there were so many of us that have child or a relative with Autism.... We should form a support group for all of us on here.
