JsMum Report post Posted March 3, 2007 Its a very detailed article and I bet you there is a lot of misdiagnosed mental health conditions who really have AS, the 17 flats and the waiting list is scary, the story is almost identicle to Js Father, who died at 25 years old, whos family now believe he was AS. all that money for mental health is been wasted, the drugs, the therapy its not any wonder many undiagnosed AS behave so identicle to mental health symptoms. Sad story, its hurt to read such tragedy it almost makes me scared for when J is an adult. JsMum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Yes thank you for that. It was an interesting read. It is also a bit disturbing and shows how far will still need to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greenman Report post Posted May 16, 2007 http://www.guardian.co.uk/family/story/0,,2025123,00.html I can relate to this 100% - We have had the same problems, if only I could speak to them in person. I would shake their hand and say thanks for sharing this with a world that does not understand AS. Andy Greenman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
