Aspies For Freedom

About four years ago, I started a write-up about Asperger's Syndrome and how it has affected me personally.
I hope this is not considered SPAM. This is a free offer.
About 25 pages, including a pretty complete medical history and most of the odd characteristics to which we are prone.
Also a rebuttal which is aimed at those deluded people who think that AS is a form of attachment disorder.
I would be happy to email this to anybody who is totally bored and wants to read something that you already know.
Or would it be permissible to post it here?

Hmm, Intresting offer. Not to be rude but most of us are quite aware of how we act, As we live with ourself 24/7. Maybe you can offer it to the researchers that keep spamming the boards to interview us.

Thanks for replying. I had noticed, as anticipated, that the world was not beating a path to my door.  There have been a bunch of shrinks, schoolteachers, and pediatricians, presumably all NTs, who have given me some positive feedback, however.
It has been a revelation and a lot of comfort to me to read so many of the posts here to which I can relate, not to mention finding a group of Aspies who are over the age of ten.
I do not feel so alone any more. It would be nice to find some Aspies who are close to my age, but most people my age are dead, and few if any of the living have been diagnosed.

My grandmother must have been born around 1905.  They said she had schizophrenia and locked her up for about 15 years.  All the time, some doctor was screwing her and when he died she was released.  She got alot of shock therapy and it damaged her nerves.  When I got diagnosed, the therapist told me that it sounded like she had Autism (maybe Asperger's) and not schizophrenia.  

I just wonder how badly people with autism were treated in the past hundred years.  I hope nothing as bad happened to you.

Luckily they didn't perform a frontal leukotomy, which could've caused even more damage.

You mean frontal lobotomy..

I would be interested in asking you for permission to put it in our library once complete - email it and i'll have a read.

great screen name!

I want a copy, I will send my email  address privately.

That's the same thing. The founder of the frontal lobotomy, Egas Moniz, presented it as frontal leukotomy; quickly after his discovery it had spread all over the world. The leading countries in medical science (namely the US) preferred to call the procedure a frontal lobotomy.

Since then the procedure has evolved, also with strict regulations for it. The term leukotomy has gone out of fashion, perhaps also due to the fact that lobotomical procedures had already been performed until the mid-30's (Moniz' time of discovery), albeit on an experimental basis...but nevertheless stuck with what they already had.

Note that an alternative type of frontal lobotomy also emerged, by Walter Freeman in the '40s. He developed a quicker way to perform it by using an ice-pick and another spot of insertion of the cutting material to cut the frontal lobes (eye orbit vs skull).

For more clearance, I have to add to that leukotomy means something like 'the cutting of white matter'.

This felt like a pop-quiz, LOL. I wish I could find the edit button to increase the readability though.
