Weirdnotstupid.com. This website is a research source for anyone (and hopefully everyone) to learn about Autism Spectrum Disorders, and most specifically Asperger's Syndrome.
I am not a doctor, and I'm not affiliated with an organization. I am not a teacher, nor am I a parent. So why is this topic important to me, and why should you surf this site? Because even though I've never been to medical school, I'm an expert by osmosis. I am an Asperger sandwich. I am in the middle of an older sister and a younger brother, both with Asperger's Syndrome. They are both fun and wonderful people with gigantic hearts. They both agree that the other one is weird, not stupid in the most wonderful way.

RDI. Relationship Development Intervention. Learn more about the RDI treatment program for developing relationships for people with autistim or asperger's.
