[quote=Anonymous] I find this post interesting because it really shows some of the bias in people's thinking. There are people who seem to think ASD-even a mild ASD is some sort of death sentence when it comes to leading a productive life. ADHD, even major, is a relief...because it's not da da da dum.....Aspergers or high functioning autism. There are plenty of highly accomplished people with Asperger's and/or ADHD who not only have fullfilling careers, but friendships and marriages/partnerships. If a child has major ADHD and you haven't found the right treatment combo then I would assume that is much more challenging than having a child with mild Aspergers. There are people with "mild Asperger's" who probably taught you in college, do your taxes and/or work at your local library. There are probably people who were once diagnosed with major ADHD doing the same, but only if it's under control and thus, no longer major. [/quote]
