CNN Manager has Asperger's Syndrome

A female manager at CNN in Atlanta, Georgia, has admitted that she has Asperger's Syndrome.  She was recently diagnosed at 46 years old.  She is also married for almost 27 years.

Her essay, "Asperger's: My Life as an Earthbound Alien," brings back my memories of childhood and what my struggles in trying to socialize with others.

Also, CNN is doing a bunch of stories regarding autism for World Autism Day at this link: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2008/news/autism/

Thanks for raising the awareness, CNN!
