Isearch Research Plan #2 Graf #14

                            Understanding a diagnosis of a person that you have only known a short period of time can be a little bit time consumimg. However, when it is a person that you have stronger connections to, you try to find out what you can however you can and in the best understanding of the diagnosis. I would look into some research on the diagnosis, whether it would be on-line or in medical magazines, but I would look into the easier to understand information, yes, I mean in "layman terms". Not everyone can understand the fundamentals of the medical lingo. I also have to say that in my case, I have the person of interest to ask questions to. They could be of the past, the present and the ideas of the future. All in better understanding the diagnosis of Aspergers and how it relates to what the medical professionals say. I also wanted to place some personal oppinions of how I can look at it as not using a diagnosis as an excuse for behavior, but to understand and point out what the cause is for the diagnosis' behavior. Possibly not to look at things as just black and white, but to understand that there will always be some shades of grey.

  1. Google groups might be useful (for example: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/alt.support.autism) and there may be facebook support pages if you're into that. There are medical databases available through the library that are more technical and in depth than stuff likely to be found on the web.
