Subject: RE: BS: 'Asperger's' Out, 'DMDD' In...
My niece is Apergers (she calls herself an Aspie) and has just graduated from Durham Uni and got a job with Lloyds Bank (the ethical branch run by the Co-op, as I understand it) She's a very unusual lassie, and comes across as a bit odd and at times inappropriate, but she is also almost at genius level, has achieved grade 8 in piano and plays with various orchestras in Edinburgh. She taught herself Japanese and writes songs and music. She needs a bit of supervision and finds relationships tricky to handle, but she's quite a girl. She probably doesn't care what label is stuck on her!
