This area is available for use by families of persons with AS and related disorders. If you have a contribution or would like to share your accomplishments or your sorrows, I'd love to include them on the site. Feel free to send lists of "If I Only Knew Then What I Know Now", some poetry, a short story, whatever you'd like to add. Contributions from siblings are welcome too. I will also use this space to add links to other parenting and family related sites. Send your comments and contributions to bkirby@udel.edu
