A message from Michael John Carley:
Dear all,
Glamour Magazine is looking for a couple wherein both of the
parties in the relationship have Asperger's Syndrome. They'd like
to do a story on this couple. This is fab, and would be another
user-friendly, positive-message media coup showing what our folks
can do as opposed to what they can't do.
In choosing a couple from those volunteering to be in the pool of
choices, please understand that some preference may be given to
younger couples (late 20s-late 30s) and couples who reside in
either NYC or Boston. However, do not let that dissuade you if you
don't fit this criteria. An interesting match for Glamour's readers
will be the big key. Same sex couples ok, couples that are not
married ok, and ALSO, please note that if an ideal couple can't be
found, then they will choose a couple where only one of the two has
AS.
If interested, please email me back with a little bit of info
describing the couple and the lives of both the participants, and I
will forward onto the writer. This needs to be done (i.e. the whole
piece written with photographs) by May 5.
And for those of you who are struggling to find relationships,
please remember, this isn't to show probability, or to insinuate
that this is the happy life for all, but rather to show that it is
a very real /possibility/, one that is a reality for a myriad of
people-a possibility that a lot of people don't realize exists
Yours,
