My father was aspergers, my eldest brother is, one of my best friends is, and my nephew is a low functioning autistic!!
It is incrediby frustrating to live and love someone with AS.. How ever hard you try and remember that when they say something hurtful, its not that they mean it to be, they just don't get *why* it could be hurtful..
This is an excellent article (and two fascinating tests to take), written by the UK's leading autistic spectrum expert, Simon Baron-Cohen..
