Found this on someone's blog:

Quote:
Just got this note from a friend who works at the Asperger's Association of New England, a very excellent organization. Half the people I know (or am related to) and love are probably somewhere on the Aspie spectrum . . . Thought I'd help AANE get the word out that a couple of their members will be on TV:
Barring breaking news, CNN’s piece on women and Asperger’s Syndrome will air Thursday, February 9th on Anderson Cooper 360. 10pm ET/7pm PT.

Drat! I missed it! Oh well, I guess that some other time there will be another aspie special.

they have this video online at cnn.com. I had to do a search for it. Strangely it didnt come up using "aspergers" but did on the second or third page of a search of "women"

IT was excellent. The young lady in the video reminds me alot of how things are for me when she is describing things.

Found this story at cnn.com & read their "rough" transcript of feature. Didn't sound much like how I am, as usual. However, as an AS dx'd adult female I'm pleased focus was on someone of my demographic.
The show's blog of comments from viewers was more interesting to read than the main piece that aired, IMO.
