Hi, everyone.

Last night (April 29, 2008), I spoke at my professor's support group for parents with autistic children about my life growing up with Asperger and how I've managed to deal with and partially overcome some of the symptoms. Here is the 45-minute mp3 file:

My talk to the Armenian Autism Outreach

Hope it's interesting to some of you, and I'm curious to hear your comments.

So you know...

One of the Armenian women had a translator, and the two were sitting right to my left, which was incredibly distracting to my thoughts. If you pay attention, you'll notice that I pause my speech whenever they start up with each other as I'm speaking. Also, the women in general tended to all speak at the same time, which was challenging for me.

So expect a little chaos!
