Thanks to Wendy for pointing me to My Aspergers Child, a great website for lots of parenting advice. I particularly liked the breakdown of various types of Aspergers. Someone I know is very much Emotion Boy – Fantasy subtype.

Last week, I read George & Sam: Two Boys, One Family, and Autism. It's a memoir written by a woman who has two severely affected boys. It's well written enough that I'm sure that anybody, not just parents of autistic kids, would like it. She finds humanity in her two boys, who seem to be entirely disconnected from others. Even though they'll lick sugar out of unattended sugar bowl and they'll  poop on the sidewalk, they are still boys. She does gloss over the bad bits though. I'll give a longer review, if people want it.
