A Kent State graduate called Nicholas Subak's spoke about Asperger's Syndrome, a condition he was diagnosed with when he was 16. In the article "Speaker Shares Experiences Dealing with Asperger's Syndrome", Nicholas was at Kent State's Topics in Child Development Conference back on June 29. He gave details about his struggles with being isolated from his peers. He referred to his childhood as being "in a maze."
Nicholas pointed out that the Asperger diagnosis was a positive experience because it helped him discover why he was having difficulties. He also mentioned that he went to Kent State's Student Accessibility Services and got help with note-taking assistance.
Currently, he is seeking a master's in special education and has a interest in presenting. His desire is to change people's opinions for the better.
Good luck with the Master's degree, Nicholas!
