isearch Progress Report-Graf#18

                                 My isearch had not started out the way that I had planned. So, I changed my topic after submitting my previous three sections. Needless to say, I had alot of soulsearching and found something that was more important to me, so I turned back and rewrote all three sections to reflect on my new topic. I wanted to know and learn more about my stepson ?????. I became part of his life as he was turning into a young adult and I was not there through his childhood dealing with Aspergers. So, I wanted to make my report, not just a learning process for me to understand about his diagnosis, but I also wanted it to become a 'getting to know one another' type situation, as I have asked for his collaboration with my isearch. From picking his alias name to answering my list of personal questions. I can find all sorts of information on-line. Google has plenty of research information. And I have read several articles of how Aspergers was looked at in the past and the possible outcome in the future. But I wanted to make my isearch more on the personal side. I have the most respect for ???? for being brave and honest with me. And most of all not feeling as a target, but just knowing that his step-mom was wanting to understand him better. So, I think that I am going to place a possible contrast of how ???? sees and handles his diagnosis, compared to how the researchers/ the public describes how it should be handled and their outlook.


**  ???? is because he has not chosen his name yet. When he does, I will edit and add it in.
