Subject: RE: musicians with Asperger's Syndrome
Lepus, could you be thinking of ADHA disorder? That, I know, has often been used as a catch-all phrase for kids who don't fit in to the 'norm' (whatever the hell that is)....and is usually treated with ritolin or resperidol...I have never heard of anyone 'treated' for AS, although they are sometimes treated for associated conditions such as anxiety and/or depression. Also it is worth noting that AS has sometimes been mistaken for schizophrenia and vice versa and people can wind up on a whole bunch of psychotropic meds that actually make them worse in the long run.
