Amen! 
Right when we think we have it tough and can't do it, there is ALWAYS someone that has it harder, but doesn't let them stop them.
Kudos to your BirthaBlue4 for being a Special Ed teacher. I know a lot of the progress my nephew made was due to him have the right teachers/instructors.

Had I not read this thread, I probably would have wondered about this kid I met when I was working at a summer camp a few years ago. He was 6 years old, had no friends amongst the other kids, but knew so many things. One time just for tricks, I asked him how a car works. He explained the whole thing to me, about combustion of the engine, etc. I don´t even know the details! Does this sound like Aspergers?

I had read that autistic children with such high mental capacity are rare.
I really want to go to a casino with a team of them though. I won't lie.

There was a man named Daniel Tammet on David Letterman a few weeks ago who has Asperger's and epilepsy and is a prodigious savant. Something happened in his brain during an epileptic seizure that made him brilliant in math and languages. He is working on solving Pi. A documentary was made about him called Brainman. It is supposed to air on the Science channel, but I am not sure when.
