Asperger is not a Cheese.

The name Asperger always reminded me of Limburger, the smelly cheese.

Yes, Asperger's Syndrome also stinks but in other . . . let me count the ways. Socially, developmentally, organizationally, motivationally. Sick of the Ly's yet?

That's okay, because I'm done with the intro and moving into the heart of the cheese, if cheese has a heart. My son has a heart, as well as Asperger's, although I'm omitting "syndrome," since it sounds too harsh, like the plague.

My husband and I didn't know that our son had Asperger's until several years ago, as he was first diagnosed with ADHD in Kindergarten.
