haddayr sent me this short article written by a 48 year old  about how she was recently diagnosed  with Asperger's Disorder.  Having a son and a friend both diagnosed with Asperger's and having certain Aspie tendencies of my own, I was really struck and delighted by the last paragraph of her article:

I could tell you so much more, but instead let me share one last insight. Don't pity me or try to cure or change me. If you could live in my head for just one day, you might weep at how much beauty I perceive in the world with my exquisite senses. I would not trade one small bit of that beauty, as overwhelming and powerful as it can be, for "normalcy."
