Asperger Syndrome

It's hard to recognize, it's only had a name now for 10 years, and it's been thought that both Albert Einstein and Thomas Jefferson had it. Asperger Syndrome is a form of autism. Most afflicted with it have average to above-average intelligence, yet are found to have deficiencies in social and communication skills. Although much progress has been made in diagnosing and treating the condition, there are still many unanswered questions.
We'll talk about what we know, what we don't know and answer your questions on Asperser syndrome. Trish's guests are Teresa Bolick, a clinical psychologist in Nashua, New Hampshire specializing in autism disorders and author of "Asperger Syndrome in Adolescence: Helping Preteens and Teens Get Ready for the World". Idell Champagne, Vice President of the advisory board for the Asperger Association of New Hampshire and the parent of a 10 year old with Asperger Syndrome. Ben Carozza, 17 year old at Concord high school with Asperger Syndrome. He's developed a website for other teens with Aspergers.
