            <description><![CDATA[ Hi there, just thought that I would tell you all something about me.  I think that you all know my mum, kay.  yes I am ashley's mum.  I am 36, nearly 37.  I have two children, both boys.  Ashley aged 14 and Bradean aged 10.  As you have heard from mum, Ashley has aspergers.  It is nice to have a place to talk to people about this.  It is nice to finally have support, we have been fighting since he was eighteen months old to have someone do something and believe us that something was not right.  He was finally diagnosed last year.  Well since he has been with mum and dad and been in the special unit at Fraser High school he is a different kid.  The only thing that makes me really sad about the whole thing is that he had to hit me before anyone decided that they would help us.  When  I think of all the people that I talked to and took him to before this and no one wanted to know.  I am truly thankful though that I have the mum and dad that I have because without them who knows where he would be now.  <br />
I hope that I have not gone on to much but it is nice to have people to finally talk to that understand where we are at. <br />
thank you for listening<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi There<br />
<br />
I'm John Maxwell and I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 1994 at 16 years of age. I live in Christchurch.<br />
I attend the Mondaynighters group in Christchurch and they are a great crowd to hang around with. I actually joined the group back in April but have recently rejoined after a five month absence [I was tied up with indoor bowls the same night.] <br />
Among my many interests include reading,indoor bowls,board games,ten pin bowling,quizzes and networking with friends on Facebook and Wrong Planet [for those who don't know what Wrong Planet is it is a social networking site designed specifically for people with Asperger's Syndrome.]<br />
<br />
I attend Life Church in Upper Riccarton. Nobody in my church knows that I have Asperger's at the moment so at some stage I'll try and raise some awareness.<br />
<br />
If anyone would like to drop me a line some time I'll be quite happy to have a chat.<br />
<br />
Yours Sincerely<br />
John]]></description>
