Rus

My name is Rus Anderson and I am a musician, designer, father and husband. The primary reason I have joined myspace is because I noticed there are a lot of Aspies and parents of Aspies here and I am hoping to connect with and learn from them.
My Son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome a few years ago. He is 9 years old and the most amazing person I have ever met. We are lucky in that he is very high functioning and somewhat self sufficient. While he doesn’t display extraordinary “savant” type behavior, he does have an amazing memory and outstanding comedic timing. His ability to remember lines from TV shows and movies and to use them at the perfect moment is incredible. In testing he has had teachers exclaim how they have never seen a memory like his before.
I do need to say that his sister is amazing in her own right. She has quite the singing voice and is a very skilled artist. On top of that she takes great care of her brother in our absence.
I hope to hear from all of the AS community!
